So far we have ripped out walls, sheetrock,insulation and flooring in the 7 rooms on first floor. Taken a zillion digital pics for documentation. All our furniture is at the curbside along with everything else that was destroyed. It is an ugly mess. Sad to look up & down the street and see the same thing repeated house after house.
But as I have said before we are safe, we have shelter with family and we do have a home that can be rebuilt. Gee, it looks like we will be building two homes at the same time - one in TV and one in PPB! So that's what keeps me going and focused. Once we do our design mtg next week, then TV can handle the rest. I know that they will turn out a great product that we will love and enjoy. Hubby and I will work on whipping our NJ home back into shape and it will be better and stronger than before -- just like us 
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your words of encouragement and support. It means the world to mean. And for those who have also been touched by the effects of this devastation, either directly or indirectly, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. |
Sorry life has delt you a difficult hand. My heart goes out to you. Rebuild in NJ and build your home in TV and come down and get some R&R. your luck will turn around and you will enjoy the sunny skies and warm days in Florida. We also came from NY, near Albany and one of the main reasons we left is the weather. Couldn't take snow,ice and all that messy, dangerous stuff. We can hardly believe we aren't going to have to go through winter this year. Our thoughts are with you. Stay safe and keep you eye on the rewards of your hard work!
