go measure in your home and see where that mark is.........it's unreal.
I am a relatively composed guy, but this has me in tears off and on all day.
30 years of accumulation ........gone........my wife is trying her best but it's tough.
the grand baby lifts our spirits but she senses the pain.
my man gave where all my "man" stuff is.......coleman stoves, a life's collection of rare cast iron, my knife collection, my benjamin pump collection......countless gun cases and just "Stuff" that I have treasured for decades....gone.......only an outdoorsman can appreciate the loss of your very "first" of hunting things......that you have saved
My God is good and He saved me. Got us out safely......
ironically I was just pretty "deliberate" with a guy over not calling me back to do a 65K remodel.....imagine that !!?? had I spent that out of pocket than lost it all??
Soooooo many without flood insurance......we have it........just no contents......my out of pocket remodel will replace most of that.
When you have a small farm........it's a LOT of 'contents'........
Having a glass of wine right not at a business associates house......hopefully he can put up with me for a few more nights......LOL

My parents got about 6ft off of 431 I think. Our house stayed high and dry, if you need anything at all, please let me know. I'll be home in like 2-3 weeks and will be willing to help any way I can.
