Ginger- I am letting you know that I still pray for you and your family. I think that it is a blessing that you have little Racheal to focus on during this horrible time. She will give you so much happiness and in that, maybe help you to get through this ordeal a little better. I feel so bad for you. I know that it could have been me, and I hope that if that day ever comes, that I will get the same support that you are getting. We love you and miss you very much! I hope that it won't be long before you can come back for good. In the meantime, I will keep my prayers for you nonstop, and wish for you and your family to be able to start life over very soon!!! We all love you!

Adjuster has come and gone. Was a very nice person with his son out of Sacramento area. Problem is that this mass destruction is so widespread, they are way behind and this guy still has 170 houses assigned for him to assess. He said it would be 4 to 6 weeks before my claim would be put together to hand into the insurance company. So - meanwhile, we wait to see! He suggested we go ahead and start with repairs, but I pointed out that between tree removal, gutting the flooded house and buying a couple of pieces of furniture to get us up off the floor, we have already shelled out $20,000 and the pot only holds so much. Also, without knowing what the insurance will do, we hesitate to start extensive repairs. I've never been through anything like this, and I sure hope I never will again. It is sure depressing and nerve-wracking......and there are a lot of people a lot worse off than we are. What a Mess@@@ The good news.........we have rabbit ears and I get to see Survivor every Thursday night.....YEA! Something to look forward to!

Alaginger, just making my way to this thread. Sorry to hear you've suffered so much damage and sending positive vibes your way. I can only imagine the frustrations you've had to endure through this. My ex was working out in Slidell cutting trees. Wonder if it was him, lol?

Have received one estimate on both houses from one contractor. The other 3 have not given us estimates, and they all came about a month ago. Don't understand that, but I hear it is the same all over for everybody. We had a new contractor on Monday and on Tuesday two roofers that work with him, showed up to assess the roof on the new house, so we are getting positive vibes about this contractor. Still no word from the insurance adjustor that came out 3 1/2 weeks ago, but he told us it would take him 4 to 6 weeks to get our package together for the insurance company. He is a subcontractor to the insurance company........because they don't have enough adjustors to go around. Meanwhile, we had the contents adjustor on Sunday at the old house, and with all the receipts and the pictures he says he feels sure we are going to get the max we were insured for on contents.......so that is positive news. I might even get to buy a new couch so I can sit on something other than a lawn chair to watch "Survivor" with my rabbit ears........(LOL). Spirits are still high..........Ginger

Hey Ginger. Sounds like progress, albeit a bit slowly. I remember after the October 2003 wildfires here, it took some time for all the contractors to finally get their act together. With the even more widespread devastation there... One little tip I learned from the folks here... see if you can get a group (large as possible) together to work with one contractor. That contractor can then buy supplies in bulk, and it cost people a lot less to rebuild. Of course, they had to totally rebuild from the ground up, but the principle is sound. There are advantages to working in quantity. Best wishes!

Ginger, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope this is all resolved soon for you. And you are right - just keep saying "this too shall pass". That's all you can do

Hey ..... I'm back online as of this morning (11/4/05). Costacat .... we had a guy do an estimate over a month ago that bragged he was going to set up an office in our subdivision (where the old house was) and get quantity because he had built a lot of homes in there, and then be able to cut the costs because of quantity. So you had a good suggestion there. Problem is, this guy has made appointments with us to go over the estimate on numerous occasion, and never shows up....so he has become a laughing joke between us and another couple who haven't heard back from him either. I spent a little time today looking at spoilers, and I see that one website shows Bobby Jon as the first juror.......so if that is right, he will be the next to go (right???). Thanks for all the good wishes. They have meant a lot..........G
