Sorry to hear about the flooding Jim.
You have had one helluva start to 2020.
We are all thinking of you and hoping for better times ahead.
Stay strong.
Really sorry to hear that Jim - I'd hoped that you were past the bad times. My prayers go out for you and your family in these horrible trying times.
Jeez Jim. Really don't know what to say...
Thoughts and prayers continued your way.
What a hosing! You just haven't had a good break for a while now.
That is other than being grateful that you and your family are still here.
And where was all that water a several weeks ago when you needed it on the fires?
You are still in our prayers my friend.
Kindest regards from Gil & Simone
Ohhh.....Jim!
No meaningful words. So very sorry.
Thanks all, I feel terrible always having bad news guys
Insurance sent out a team of builders and they have pulled up all the floor coverings and taken to the tip. The floorboards are now starting to dry and the stench isn't as bad. They have replaced the fridge, freezers, air conditioners and a lot of other stuff, lots still to be assessed though. Steam room has needed a lot of attention with rust due to the humidity, I had a couple of hours to get on top of that yesterday. Our gardens and flower beds have pretty much been trashed.
The houses haven't been touched since they went down on NYE, the older ones have been sprayed with PVA glue to try and contain asbestos fibres.
The NSW govt has now got a statewide contractor so the houses should start being cleaned up soon. But people have already lost 2 months of their 12 months of insurance covered rent. They now have to build to a higher fire rating and their houses are unlikely to be rebuilt in 10 months.
I just wish that you didn't have any reason to write all this miserable stuff !!!
It remains totally beyond comprehension, all that you folks have been through .....
Hi Jim, Thank you for the updates. Sad as they are, at times, they are reassuring because we know you are still with us.
Be blessed.
Gil
This is all really heartbreaking Jim, Ang & I feel just terrible about what your all going through.
