We may, in fact, get flooded again this year. But what else can we do right now? We’re just thinking about comfort. And money. Comfort and money. And, of course, space. But I guess that comes under the heading of comfort. So, yeah, comfort and money.
The trailer is made out of tin foil, is all electric and costs a lot to rent. We were comfortable in the house last winter, so we’d rather just do it again. (We’ll just replace electric wires and pipes that may have been compromised by salt water so that we don’t start another disaster!)
Then we’ll continue to plod along as the mountain of paperwork continues to grow, until we actually get a check put in our grubby little hands so that we can actually hire people and get things actually started! (Tho by then we’ll have to alter our plans b/c we can’t afford the potential taxes on a new-build, so we’ll have to modify plans to make it a re-build instead, which will add 6 months to the process b/c, well, paperwork needs to be filed!)
Just kill me now.
Meanwhile, I’ve just come across a bunch of pix to remind me that, yes!, it may yet flood again this year!! What fun!! Also, now that the house is stripped down to it’s ribs – again – I’m reminded of all the fun things we discovered in the walls, as well as the “artifacts” we’ve dug up from around the rootball.
Meanwhile, I’m too old and achy to STILL be doing this! Really, can we stop now?
