So very excited right now, so I had to share!

I lost my home in a fire march 10th - and construction on my home started 3 weeks ago.

My home will be ready for me and my dogs to move back into mid October!

    The important things got out - and those were my two dogs. Everything else is replaceable.

    I had a fire in jan that gutted my house. We just got moved back in mid may. I'll tell ya - it was a complete mess but ingot a whole new house. The kids got fresh toys. It was a lovely restart.

    Thank you!

    Mine didn't so much gut the house, just burnt the roof and the back of the house, by the time the smoke, fire, and water dmanage had been done - nothing was salvagable.

    It truely is a fresh start.

    I'm so sorry to hear about your house too, Julie! It's a tradegy I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. :(

    It really is. If you need to vent or talk - PM away! It does get better and your attitude towards it all will help you tremendously :)

    Here's the progress vs the regression from the original house. I lucked out and my house was worth an amount that let me go about an extra 200xfeet larger than the original with a front porch and a larger back deck - with very little out of pocket. Very excited!
