Awesome news, whatever you do for Thanksgiving spark up the beast and take it for a spin.

Glad to read of your good news.
Rete, that is a wonderful offer. We fully intend to ride your way and meet with you and hopefully in the new year, early spring, we will do it. If we can rope Cindy in as well it will be great.

I think our Thanksgiving will be making sure everything is ready for the contractor when he starts again.

The beast is in storage right now. I hope we might be able to take a short ride somewhere, we need too!

Update:

Everything is moving so slowly.

The new kitchen addition is finished, new walls, doors and windows in place. AC vent is all hooked up, walls are painted and the gas, water and electricity are all connected. But no floor and no kitchen cabinets it's all on back order.

The rest of the house is being worked on, all the rooms are sheet rocked and finally the main bathroom has walls...not that it matters because the new shower is back ordered. We do have the tiles so at least that can be worked on.

Mishaps in the last week: hot water tank quit working and started to leak, we replaced it last Friday and it was so good to have a nice hot shower Friday night.... and then the contractor said he could smell gas and apparently we have a leaking gas line somewhere across the 300ft from the house to the meter. So now the gas company have pulled the meter which means no gas which means no hot water which means stopping by our friends house each evening to shower!!

10 weeks since the storm. I really did think it would be sorted by now.

Oh what rotten luck you are having. You would think they would have pulled their fingers out and at least have your home somewhat livable. Hopefully 2018 will be kinder to you.

Yes, thank goodness but what seemed a decent amount is not looking so much as we start spending it..

It was just a bad combination of too many big disasters happening at the same time. It slowed down the insurance and it also meant everything we need to have replaced is the same as thousands of other houses so demand is high.

Yep, 2018 had better be a quieter disaster free year. I'm getting too old to live like a squatter

Yup. Was the same with the Christchurch earthquake. Too much happening all in one go for far too many people.

I really hope you are far more comfy soon. Totally agree. One reaches an age where camping no longer appeals. The same goes for half a house or less.

Urgh! That's all really sucky. You'd think the back orders would be filled quicker, it can't be that difficult to switch more supply to the Houston area.

Hope you get sorted soon
