It's been a month since Hurricane Irene hit the mid-Atlantic coast. It's been a month. I will give you a short update of where we are in the restoration process.
Today a co-worker mentioned that if I had better insurance I wouldn't be going through all this trouble. He says his insurance company has NO deductible for hurricane damage. Wow, thanks for telling me this. I have no way of confirming it and you had no damage to your home, but THANKS for the information. It's good to know I have crappy insurance. I hope you feel great about yourself now. (btw, I didn't say any of that out loud. :))
And, today a Kati posted the first part of a question/answer conversation we had. Kati writes a blog called CultureTwined. Kati is a Christian storyteller. She is a world traveler and is fortunate enough to be able to work all over the world. Kati, I think, sees the ways all the people in the world are more alike than not. I love her positive and loving attitude about life. I love how she can put what she sees around her into words. Thanks for for the kind words about me, Kati. It was fun.
- The insurance adjuster has been to our home. They've written a check to us and our mortgage company. In order to get money to pay for repairs we have to send a notarized affidavit to the mortgage company to get the money to pay for services. Every time. For each service. Tedious.
- We've hired a roofer. Hopefully they will begin roofing within the next 2 weeks.
- We've hired someone to replace our deck. This is not to begin until after the roof is replaced.
- We've hired someone to replace the picture window in our bedroom. This may be coordinated with the roof replacement.
- I've worked with my son to sort through his clothing. Truthfully, we are only half-way through this process. He found a bunch of old clothes he had stuffed in a couple dresser drawers.
- My son sold his old X-Box. *cheering* He's learning to let stuff go. <3
- Big tree in the front of the house (with the giant root ball) is cut up and branches removed. Still need to get the giant root ball out of there.
- One tree in the side yard of the house is cut up and branches removed.
- Valium prescription for Happygirl get some sleep, filled.
