We have finally had someone working on the house and to my disbelief, they think they may be finished by the end of the week! The roof is done and the drywall and plaster are up. All that's left is paint and carpet. Yea! I had lost confidence that everything would be complete by Halloween, but that is starting to become a reality. So a month and a half and $9,000 later we are back to normal!
This week it rained so much in one day that the streets in our neighborhood flooded. I watched the water praying it wouldn't reach the house because wouldn't that just be the icing on the cake! Luckily it never got higher than the sidewalk, but you can sort of tell from the picture how high the water got by looking at the tires on the jeep. The crazy thing is that I called Jason to tell him not to bother coming home from work because our Jetta never would have made it and he had no idea how bad it was!

Oh my gosh, first hurricanes, then trees crash into the roof and now floods????? What's up with Houston? Well, at least it looks like your construction will soon be over....what a major project. You might consider storing sandbags in your garage.
Wow... that water is CRAZY! You guys just attract the nutty weather. Just Kiddin! It will be nice to have your house back to normal. I love the new background, super cute. Thanks for the update :)
I am glad that it will soon be done. Construction sucks. We just tiled our house and the finished product is great but the process was exhausting.
9000 dollars?! That's crazy! I can't believe you guys had to deal with that. Ah, the joys of owning a home.
That weather sucks! So glad it didn't flood your house. Especially after you have done the work you're doing now! It looks great!
Yaay. Hurricanes suck. You guys are troopers.
What is up with the crazy weather! It's going to be great when all the fixing up is done!
Good luck!
Sally
