Progression on my house

[moyer777]

Well a lot of progression made on the house today.  The contractors are getting the roof done, in fact I just got over to the house and the roof is finished.  Now, when thy got into fixing the boys room I had some bad news, the corner of my house was rotten.  Take a look.  All said and done I had to take a loan out for the damage not caused by the storm, but it was no sweat.  We must have had a leak there for some time.   I am looking forward to moving home when they finish.  The insulation goes in on Monday, sheet rock on Tuesday and Wednesday....  we'll see.  Amy picked out paint and carpet. 

I hope I'm not boring anyone, but here are some pictures.   It should start looking nicer as the days go by!

Love,

Rick

WOW That's some crazy damage. I hope everything works out for you!

Cool seeing the updates Rick - keep them coming.  Any idea if they will get it done enough for you to get in by Christmas?

[moyer777]

well, I would hope so, but it looks like new years, but here's hoping!  :cheers

That is good they are making progress, and so quickly as well. Sorry to hear about the Rotted wall, hopefully it is not to expensive to replace.

Too bad about the unknown damage Rick but just think about what if this had NOT been discovered? Romans 8:28

Ok, I took some more pictures today.

The crew came and cleaned up the yard of all the roofing debrie and closed in the corner of the house to look like the rest of it.

Looks like things are coming along nicely!

Looks like things are getting closer and it also looks like they are doing a good job too! Hopefully, this will all be behind you soon! Just think if this had not happened you never would have had a clue that you had so much underlying damage going on.

Impressive progress Rick.  Are they giving you any idea when it will be ready to move back in?  Are you going to do some of the inside finish work yourself?

Here's to the Moyer family being back home for Christmas! Or at least New Years!  :cheers

Impressive progress Rick.  Are they giving you any idea when it will be ready to move back in?  Are you going to do some of the inside finish work yourself?

Well I have already signed a contract that they will do everything for me.  The only thing we are going to have to do is get a clean up crew and clean the dust and stuff out of the entire house before we move back in.  Today they mud and tape, then it has to dry.  Next week AFTER Christmas they will insulate and texture.  Then paint.  The week after that carpet goes in and then we will have to clean, move, and then come and clean the rental.  So, probably after the 1st of the year before we get to be in our home.  But, hey.. who's complaining?  Not me.  With good friends like you guys it has made it much easier to be out of the home, and things are coming together to pay for everything.  That is such a stress relief. 

This sure has taught me to be ok with change.  My kids are trying to cope with it all, and I think they will be ok.  Having our pets with us and being together is what is important.  Christmas isn't about a physical house anyway, it's about family and faith.  The human being is very adaptive.  :)

My thoughts exactly, as long as the family is safe healthy and together then all else is secondary. Houses get fixed, bank accounts get replenished.

Wow... they are really fast. It's good to see that things are being fixed Rick.
