We Have No Ceiling!

So we drove by the house again tonight to check it out. I was really nervous to go in just because I was scared they hadn’t done anything new since last time we checked.

We went by the house today and they are packing up EVERY single thing that is in the house. The couches are totaled and trash and the mattresses and random other things but the little things they put in boxes.

They are with Paul Davis Restoration and they will pretty much be doing all of the cleaning and fixing the house. They told Brandon today that just to fix the structural part of the house will be at least $80,000. That’s a lot of money.

We have a charcoal grill and Brandon grilled Italian sausage for a few hours. It was a great night. People left around 9:30 and around 11 or so Brandon poured water on the coals and came to bed, where Ruby and I were already sleeping. Continue reading
