Rusty, if you need anything don't hesitate to call.
Hope everything works out.

Rather poor planning on my part. I ran out of Bourbon, Rum, and Vodka. I was down to SWMBO's Gin and Tequila. I made a run to Spec's today and all is well now.

Well stock up, TS Irma is on the move heading west out of Africa, early tracks show it staying on a west heading, but it would have to get closer to get any real sense of what it's going to do.

We lost a tree. Almost hit the house. Other than that our house is fine. Been hosting a few friends who has to evacuate from Sienna Plantation.

Any updates from our Houston members?

Anyone still displaced?

Our subdivision had really good drainage and we suffered no flooding at all.
Supermarkets in this area; Cypress (northwest Harris county); are pretty much back to normal.

I am concerned about my friends and colleagues both visible and invisible in the path of Irma.

I'm out of my house, and working through how to proceed. It sucks, but others have it worse. We do have a place to be while we figure it out.

Best to all.

Glad you have a place to stay. It is quite a process, taking a lot of work. Being intelligent and making good decisions helps. Having friends in the contracting business is great. Mold remediation is probably the most important of all. Take your time, it will be worth it in the end. It is always wise to consider other changes you might like to make to your home after the drywall is removed.
Take care, and I appreciate the advice you dispense here pro bono.

Our CEO is over in your area & got 4-5 ft in their house.
Hope you get it all resolved.
