Irene changed things. (Insurance Advice Needed)

[RESORT2ME Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close RESORT2ME]

Largest (best shade) oak destroyed house. Not too difficult to find living accommodations, but now looking for somewhere to store all furnishings, free of mildew, while rebuilding. That may take 4 months.

Lord only knows when electricity will return.

Power was lost prior to the crushing so no fires. No keepsakes or furnishings were damaged.
No one was injured, just yanked into mental realization that all can change instantly.

Lots of time and effort has been destroyed, but at least it was all enjoyable and now we get to do more of it.

Many needed income and we wanted to remodel. Be careful what ya ask for!

Stay safe.

PS. Your positive attitude is inspiring.

So sorry to hear this Resort2Me.

Had the same thing happen to us years ago.

Turned out we got a new and improved house out of the deal since our home was older so ended up getting enough money from insurance to rewire, new roof, new AC, alarm, new fences and the icing on the cake was we paid it off. Then we sold it and got a better one.

Sometimes blessings come in strange packaging.

As Christine has in a round about way said, everything happens for a reason. You obviously have done something to earn a new house, although you must struggle in order to do so. Agreed the circumstances are not the greatest, but we wish you the best in getting through it!

So sorry to hear about your house, but glad to hear that your family is safe. That's the most important thing. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. Wish I lived closer - I'd give you a place to stay. Take care.

Robert, so sorry to hear about your home but at least you and Caroll are safe. If you need a place to stay for awhile, I have an extra bedroom here in SC.
