"So what's going on with your house?"

That seems to be the most commonly asked question these days, with "are you just about ready to move back in?" a close second. Makes sense since we are reconnecting with so many people these days what with school, etc. starting up again. The answer in short is that about the only thing that is going on at our house is the Red Tag (declaring our home unsafe) is fading to pink - there's a photo for ya and if you scroll down to my Feb. photo album you can see see the tag used to be the same color as the tape holding up.

Yup, I'm sorry to say that now, 7 months, 2 weeks, and 3 days after our house burned down, we are still waiting to start construction. Here is a photo of what it looks like today, not much different from how it looked in April, dumpster and Porta-potty gone but still only 1/2 a house (less actually) The good news is that (to quote my April 10th post) Our Sunday Is Coming! We are waiting on some final permits from the city and once those are complete, construction the fence will go up, the pool will be tarped, and construction will start.

In the mean time we still have some fighting to do with Allstate with regards to our contents list and living expenses so keep praying for us, we sure need it! We are tired and weary but we're hangin in.
