Update About The House


Today Service-Master returned and we thought they would be taking all the fans out of the house. We were wrong. They took about two-thirds of the fans, but we still have some areas that are 20% wet - and that is after four days of fans and de-humidifiers. Service-Master believes the remaining 20% will be dry by Wednesday afternoon. Once all the fans are out, we will begin packing the upstairs and taking all our things to storage. Hopefully, we will return to our house this coming week-end, but it will be difficult to live there. My fridge and stove are pulled away from the walls, and there isn't any place to sit in the house. Our beds are piled high with everything pulled out of the closets and items that were in the wet areas. The picture is Bryce's bed! And, no - it doesn't normally look like this. So they take the fans out - - can you imagine how much work it will be to pack up enough things to even get to our beds?!?!?!? Bryce and Blake have severe allergies and are asthmatic so we will have to clean a lot of dust before they can return home. Downstairs has so much dust in the air, that my eyes hurt every time I go to the house. Well, tomorrow morning the adjuster will come and we will find out just how fast everything is going to come together. Our insurance has been very accommodating and hopefully the adjuster will have a generous spirit. (smile) More to come.

  2. Hi, Beka - You know, I look at Bryce's bed and I don't know if I should laugh or cry. It Looks like a mountain I can't cross, but then I think - this will definitely be one way to clean the house and get a new look. LOL

  4. Hi Jana, I know at some points this must all make you feel like lying on the floor and never getting up, but I do hope you'll be able to be back in your house soon, even though the repairs are incomplete. Your family is in my prayers. Love, Helen

  10. Deon - thanks for your support and love. I do so much appreciate your offer for help, but right now we are at a stage where we must do what needs to be done. This is the 19th day in the hotel and repair work has not even begun yet. Hopefully, we will have something started by next week.
