Before and During

It's been a long haul getting to this point. We picked this house out in October 2004. They didn't start breaking ground until mid November 2005. Having a Jim Walter home built is almost as stressful as watching my home getting destroyed by a hurricane. These people couldn't organize their way out of a paper bag.

We have spent two Christmases in a FEMA camper. Every time a hurricane blew up the Gulf, we had to pack everything up and move inland.
The picture to the left is one of the few surviving pictures of our house BI (Before Ivan). All digital pictures from 2004 were destroyed with my computer. The day before the hurricane, the garden looked magnificant.










To the right is what we looked like the morning after the hurricane. That's my car buried in the rubble.

Nothing around here will ever be the same, but hopefully it will one day be better.

Hopefully I'll get the hang of this blog thing too.
