OT Finally back on line
Hey Everyone:
After 38 days away from home because of the hurricanes I am finally back on line. I now have electricity, phone and water. I arrived home last Sunday and couldn't get the electric on till Tuesday. I had to live in my van. Thank goodness for the cool front that came through. Now I can open the windows and doors to get rid of the "Stink". Needless to say with no electicity my refrigerator and freezer are a total loss. When I got in the house I saw the appliances "oozing". The insurance adjuster backed out the door in a hurry. I gave him a mask and gloves so he could inspect the damage. My ceiling in one of the bedrooms is coming loose. The wind pushed it down and loosened the nails. The furnace and A/C doesn't work. My roof had a small amount of damage as did the windows. My shed, well a one car garage, is a total loss. An oak tree took it out. I have a total of 10 trees down and the fence is a wreck. I am one of the lucky ones in the neighborhood. My neighbor across the street and at the end of the block lost her home. Six trees fell on it. She had two contractors look at it and they said it had to be bulldozed and a new one built. The insurance adjuster (Allstate) said all it needs was a roof and the walls painted. The house leans badly. She is living in a small FEMA trailer with the rest of the family. I didn't lose my stash and am so happy. My Hinterberg frame will be up in the next couple weeks so I get back to quilting. I have to put my home back together before I can think of quilting but that won't be long. I am so grateful to be back home, back on line and catching up on quilting news. Thanks for being here. Kate T. |

Kate, it's so good to hear from you! It sounds like you still have a mess to
contend with, but you're safe, and that's the best news of all. I can't imagine what it must have been like for you to be away for so long, not knowing what had happened to your home.

So glad to hear from you Kate.
It must have been such a hard time for you; but, as you say, at least your house - and the most important things in it! - have survived. Try to pace yourself in the cleaning and sorting out - don't go mad and get exhausted. ..
