House updates

We have had a lot going on, we had an adjuster come by, he checked out all of the cracks in the walls and ceilings and made us an appointment with a contractor. The contractor came by and checked everything out for us and he was able to get the garage open and he secured the soffit in the front entry way so now we can get in and out of our front door safely until we can get it fixed. It looks awful but at least I don't have to worry about it falling on the kids. He felt it was important to have an engineer come by to go over everything with a fine tooth comb. He will be the one that goes up in the attic to make sure that there isn't any more structural damage going on. Of course he can't come by until next week. Today a guy from a garage door company came by and gave us a bid on a new garage door and we picked out the color. As soon as we figure out who is going to pay for that we can get it fixed.

Every day we find a new crack. We have been told that we can't start getting the walls fixed until we don't find any new cracks. Makes sense. Hopefully tomorrow we won't find a new one.

Here's the soffit that has been secured. Oh my goodness that's ugly!


This is one of the new cracks. It starts in the corner and goes along the ceiling. You can see it go all the way across the picture.

Another crack we found above the window in the sitting room.

Fortunately everyone has been very nice and accommodating. We are going to be taken care of. It will be a very long process but I think we will get it done right. We were even told that when all is said and done they will send a company to come in and clean the carpets. YEAH US! See, good things do come out of bad situations.....HA!
