We had a big day of cleanup today, about 20 people mostly from church came out to help. Picked up rocks, shingles, insulation, and made piles of limbs and logs. Had 3 chainsaws running all day cutting trees off the fence. Another chore was taking down more of the fence. We are trying to get the wire from the fences out of the way so a bulldozer can come in and pile up the trees, then we'll burn, push the pile together again and burn again, until it's gone. We're hoping we get classified as a federal disaster area because if we do then FEMA and the NRCS should be able to help out back there with all the trees. Insurance only covers $1000 worth of tree removal. Our tree'd pasture took a direct hit. We have one bid for $7500. We haven't even been to the back of the property yet, can't get there, too much mess in the way.
Restoration company has pulled up all the carpet in the house and cut out all the ceilings that had water damage, leaving their own trail of wall nicks and broken crown molding. Hoping the roofers start working soon, they say we're next in line. we'll see. We picked out shingle color (charcoal) yesterday.
Tomorrow is Sunday and we're going to rest. Going to Hendersonville after church for dinner.
