The Lee's are working on the interior of their home, Mr Lee is doing most of the work himself since they did not have flood insurance to cover most of our damage. He has been to Lowes every day! He is still working on the walls but is trying to finish those as soon as possible. They still have painting, carpet & padding, moldings, baseboards, roof, and other repairs to be done though.
Our home is fixable and we were able to salvage some things, but the extensive repairs are costly and we did not have flood insurance.
We actually have most of our clothes, shoes, etc.. the most immediate need is to replace bedding and furniture (right now, beds). I realize that most furniture is expensive so I know this is something we will have to do on our own. We are waiting on help from FEMA which is reviewing our application. They have a set amount they normally give whether you lost your entire home or just contents.
