Nice huh??? Sigh...We are so blessed. We weren't home when it happened, we were definitely under His watchful eye. After nearly 2wks of estimates and continued damages from settling...we're at nearly 40 THOUSAND dollars of damage. Yikes! The main damages are to the roof/attic structure and the porch. It will have to be completely reroofed (lots of rafters, the main ridgeline, etc) and the porch completely redone. Looks like the majority of the inside work is cosmetic. Lots of superficial cracking to be patched or replaced in walls and ceilings in many rooms and in Shelby's room, the entire front wall and ceiling have to be redone. It's quite a mess in there. Teaches me to get right on it with pictures though! I'm going to try to document the process of reconstruction and blog it...When we start the inside work, I'll get to redecorate a bit since quite a bit of the trim/crown has to be replaced and at least 3 rooms need to be repainted after the cracking is repaired. We also will have a new look to the front porch since we're going to replace the round columns with square posts. I think while they're removing the shutters for repair, I'll have them remove them all and get on that painting I noted we wanted to do anyways. That will keep me busy and out of the contractor's hair ;) Stay tuned...
