Thank you for the kind comments..We are still in the hotel.....a little tough with 4 people and 3 cats...but we are making do....we have our phone forwarding to my husbands cell phone and have been busy..lots of foreclosures, 5 today!
The city inspector came today..several trusses in the garage will have to be replaced, new dry wall..garage fully rewired...the restoration company cleaned out the garage and all the bedrooms...they are going to pull up all the carpeting, replace the padding and then have the carpet cleaned...the smoke was up in the attic so all the insulation will be replaced with new duct work...
we lost most of our christmas stuff....our tree and such....most of our canning stuff, pressure canner, water bath canner, the dehydrator, jars, etc. our shop vac...I am not sure what else.yet...the fire got really hot..it melted the garage door opener.
The firemen told us we did all the right things...kept the smoke/fire contained and got everybody (in this case, the cats and dog) and called them...it could have been alot worse.We are thankful....they think it started with our treadmill....be sure to keep things unplugged!

Glad to hear the repair work is progressing. Maybe soon you will be home. Take care.
ReplyDeleteKeeping you in my prayers Dani and glad to hear the cleaning up has begun. A treadmill of all things, wow, I would have never thought of that! Hang in there my friend ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteOh how sorry I am to hear about your fire! Isn't it just the pits! We had a small tornado hit our house and did about $40,000 to it. State FArm came through for us. But we lived in the house & used microwave, electric skillet, and the bathtub as our sink. The tornado destroyed our kitchen. But God provides - I needed a new kitchen and appliances badly! It was 4 months until everything was back in order, but well worth it! Thank you Lord! Hope that all goes well with you guys and it gets repaired quickly and your things get replaced quickly!
ReplyDeleteoooops I better go unplug my treadmill...
Glad to hear that things are progressing. It helps a little when you can see some progress being made. Scarey when you think of all the stuff you leave plugged in all the time, isn't it???? I'm still praying for you. Soon this will all be a memory of something in the past. Glad to hear business is doing well for you, too!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Alan is busy and you are keeping a list of all things lost. Do you have any photos here and there of things stored in the garage that might help you remember?
ReplyDeleteWhen you don't use it everyday it escapes memory. I remember when I see photos of our house before 911 and it hurts to see them. But, they can be handy for you and replacements! Like that non-fire safe you had a million dollars in. LOL! Just kidding!
Keep hanging in there and watering your garden. Those tomatoes sound good.

Wow, that is so much they are having to do! Glad they seem to be moving along! Can't believe it was the treadmill, that's scary!
ReplyDeleteDani, thank you for the hint about unplugging the treadmilll, I have kept ours plugged in but not now!
ReplyDeleteI am glad the house can be repaired and livable. But it's so hard for you in the meantime. And such a loss to have all your food prep speciality items lost.
Gosh- the treadmill? That's scary!! I'm so sorry about the damage and the things you lost, but God was watching out for you and it could have been so tragic. So thankful Alan is still able to get his work calls, too!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the fire incident. Praise God you were safe.
ReplyDeleteDani, lamento muito pelo ocorrido com vocês. Que bom que estão a salvos e bem.
ReplyDeleteGood bless you, friends and your familiy.
Hugs
