Harvey +3, Monday Morning August 28, 2017

All

Let night Lisa and I had a minor breach of our palace walls. We might have stemmed the tide for now but my focus tomorrow will be on Lisa, Ethan, and the house. 

I will try to make myself available as possible and will forward emails as necessary if I am unable to resolve an issue.


Thanks in advance for your understanding.

Today I thought I would have a shorter update and post videos.  (Videos are at the bottom) One of the awesome things that happened today was our generator arrived .   THANK YOU NetSuite!  (see pic)   Lisa and I are very thankful and grateful for this gift and while I know many people were involved in this I want to give a special shout out to Matt DeLauro and Brenee Staples. As for the day, it was a pretty straight forward Harvey recovery day.  I got back into work while Lisa began to organize our belongings (no small task once you see the video).  In addition, we reviewed our first contractor bid, received a bid on water remediation, and took Lisa's car to the shop (it runs but has more lights \on the dashboard than a Christmas tree) in addition to having taken on water.  We are learning a lot about the process while also trying to navigate insurance, FEMA, and the different stages of rebuilding.  More on this in the next few days. With regard to the videos, I have

(See Guest Post Below) Doug  Love it!!!  Amazing story about the ho gs and thanks for sending out the blog today. For those that don't know, Doug is a machine about giving to others and supporting his community.  This is a small glimpse into the source of strength he has been for many, many people in Houston, including me.  As for That Guy, he beat the snot out of Harvey today. Talk tomorrow. Nat Sent from my iPhone Guest Post from a Friend So Nat has been providing all of you an interesting view into the mind of a Middle Age Jewish Guy, I thought I might hijack the blog with a perspective from the Older "but more fit" suburban white guy that didn't get flooded. It's actually pretty difficult to sit in you dry house that still has power and internet and watch your friends and family struggling with the aftermath of this storm. Any for many it's now a race against time. How fast can you get back into your house and tear it up in

Today was another long day of working in the house doing the remediation (aka demo).  Lisa and I arrived at the house around 9:00 and our crew came over around 10:00 (pic below) and worked until 5:30.  I thought I would try describe the drive into our neighborhood and to our home.  There are multiple pics attached as I think someone once said a picture is worth a 1,000 words.  As I take the first left into the neighborhood I see a squad car (DriveIn1) because a squad car is posted at each entrance, there are 4 of them, to our subdivision.  The police are there to reduce the traffic and in the evening you need an ID as there have been looters.  (I too agree that there is a special place in heck for looters).  After I pass the police car I go through a sign (DriveIn2) that is there to let people know you cannot exit through the back of the neighborhood (people are looking for shortcuts b/c of flooding).  Then I pass a sign (DriveIn3) that tells me where to go for high water to la
