Ike= My house, barn and shop all 3 condemned!!!

[HORSE~]

Well just got done meeting with my insurance adjuster toady and fema yesterday and they decided to condemn all three structures....

I knew my barn was for the most part wiped out and my shop looked like a bomb went off in it but I didn't realize the structural damage that the house had actually sustained....I live on a little over 3 acres and have an acre and a half pond behind my house and a hedge row in between the pond and house so I hadn't actually seen the entire back side of my house until today....I have been waiting on a friend to bring over a front end loader so that I could make a path to the back of the house and not get snake bit trying to walk through all the high ass grass and up rooted tree's....Well today we got a path cleared and two big oak trees and a willow tree had fallen away from the house....I already knew that they had fallen but what I wasn't able to see was that they completely up rooted and had ripped out all off my sewage, water lines and electric lines that where buried under the house....My house is on block's and stands about two feet above the ground....Well apparently the water lines and sewage lines have been leaking under the house since the storm so now I have 2 feet of and water touching the bottom decking of my house.....

After we finished taking notes on the out side we went into the house....Now I already knew that the ceiling's in four of rooms had fallen in due to roof damage and water leaking in but I had not been into the attic yet because we could not turn on the electricity and still cant turn it on because we have electrical wires twisted and mangled all over the place....So any way get into the attic with our flash lights and there here joist cracked twisted and in some places completely dislodged from the roof....After seeing that the adjuster decided it wasn't safe to be up there and we came down and went to the front of the house to try and see what kind of condition the floor joist where in....The front part of the house is slightly higher than the back so we where be able to see the parts that weren't submerged in water....I had noticed prior to today that the roof was slightly sagging on the right side, well when we got down and looked under the house we saw why....the cinder block's on that side of the house had almost all been either shattered or had just been completely pushed out of there setting's....After seeing all of this I have no F#cking clue how the house did not just completely split in two or three different pieces....


So it looks like I will be without a house, barn or shop for several months....Insurance will for the most part cover everything but it is a real pain in the ass....I have horse's and dog's spread all over the place at different friends house's....It takes damn near half a day just to drive from place to place feeding and watering them....I think I am burning up around four hundred dollars a week just for the gas it takes to go back and forth to feed them....


All that being said I got off allot better than many other folks....None of us or our animals where injured so I do feel blessed for that....Right now I am staying at my mom's house cause I had no idea that the damage was so severe and that it would take as much time as it is going to take to repair ....So Monday it look's like I'll have to go and find an apartment or something until we get all this shit sorted which is going to suck ass, I am used to being able to walk around my property in my underwear and piss of the back porch in the middle of the night plus I hate f#cking people now I am going to have them right on the other side of the wall from me....


Anyway my weekend suck's hope yall's is better than mine....
