Filed with FEMA this morning.
Probably won't get anything, but I filed.
Then my buddy Doug and his brother Darryl showed, and we went to my aunt's place.
We cut off/out all of the carport and stacked out at the road.
Now she can enter/exit her house the normal way.
Before today she had to go out this really bad screen door and thru the back yard near the canal (gators and snakes), and then thru the side yard to get out front.
See the photos below of her place before we cut everything off.
Sorry, didn't take photos of how it looked afterward.
She was thrilled.
She still has no power or water and refuses to leave.
Tomorrow I will be seeing her late morning and I will work on her some more to get her to my place.
Anyway, we stopped at my brother's place to inspect the tarping process the contractors my SIL hired are doing.
It's coming out really well!!!
Then to my place.
Doug and his brother went up on my roof and did a photo shoot-movie-inspection thingy.
Found about 20-25 shingles gone.
I had a pack of shingles in the shed and hauled it up them and they then replaced the missing shingles for me.
We still need a new roof, but we needed a new roof before Ian.
This bought me time.
I offered some drinks to the guys before they shoved off, but the refused.
They have a 22-24 hr ride back to Buffalo.
Heros!!!
Lastly, after they left, the water came on.
So, our place is now secure, and we have water and electric.
The beer's cold so Donna and had a couple.
then Donna took a shower.
My turn next.
Baby steps.
Tomorrow, I go visit my brother at 10am
It's his birthday tomorrow.
Sux!
Then to my aunt's place.
We lived to lie about it in our senior years.
