Re: Harvey
We are having the studs treated again to prevent mold. Apparently the first treatment was not enough.
I can't wait to be able to use the bathroom without having half my body on show because of no sheet rock or walls. Good thing it is only me and him living here

It's a bit late coming, but Mitsubishi is launching their PHEV at the end of the year. One of the features it has, is that it can power a house for up to 10 days with it's built in generator. It can also drive through water up to 14 miles.
Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid can now power homes during an outage

Update...if you're interested
The up-front money arrived. A contractor has been hired for some of the heavy work and M and SiL and a friend are going to lay floors and paint walls. Still no idea how much the insurance will pay out which is frustrating when you are pricing up necessities.
I'm finally taking a whole weekend off this week. I intend to sleep, eat and relax!
FEMA called and arranged to visit last Sunday. I was very surprised as other than offering us shelter accommodation that we didn't even ask for when we first flooded we had not had any contact from them. The inspector spent two hours with us and was more thorough in her inspection than our insurance adjustor. If we are not satisfied with our insurance pay out then apparently we could apply for a FEMA loan
Kitchen cabinets and work tops are on the shopping list this weekend. I'm not very good at planning out rooms, I am hoping it will all come together

Re: Harvey
C If the kitchen layout worked well before just recreate it, if you used to think 'Damn I wish that was there and not there' then redesign it. New kitchens are awesome.
Can you get out for a Trike drive this weekend? Sod the house for a day.

Re: Harvey
I did not know they did loans, what is the interest rate?

Re: Harvey
Glad things are starting to come together Sm, if only slowly. At least it's a start. Have a restful weekend.

Re: Harvey
Me, too.
Glad you got some funds to help along but dismayed that the insurance hasn't reached a final figure as yet. As for FEMA, at least they found you and everything is now on record.
Please be good to yourself and rest and sleep this weekend. I can only imagine the emotional and physical stress you have been operating under.
Have a look at the new, at least knew to me, laminate countertops that are out now. You would swear they were granite but they are porous so you don't get water marks/stains and you can place hot pots and oven pans on it without scorching or burning them. My sister has granite and hates it, especially with the under mount sink in the kitchen. And her daughter had the laminate installed last year in their newly built home and loves it.

Hope you manage to get some rest this weekend, in between all the shopping of course.
