Progress

Christian Aid Ministries has begun work on my house. It is all so exciting. So far the floor joist are repaired and subfloors are put in. They replaced all damaged insulation and sheetrock. They gutted the entire bathroom and are redoing it (everything in there was damaged from old water damage.) They put in a new regular size tub. They are working on the plumbing (all the plumbing in the house is being replaced.) The kitchen cabinets have all been removed. The electrical has been checked and cleared (and a new outlet in my room and for the microwave have been installed.)

We still have to:

spackle living room

put in living room floor

paint living room

put in closet door in living room

spackle hallway

paint hallway

put in hallway floors

spackle bathroom

install light switch in bathroom

put in new floor in bathroom

install toilet in bathroom

install shower head in bathroom

install fixtures in bathroom (towel bar, etc.)

install vanity and faucet in bathroom

install light switch in bedroom

spackle bedroom

put floors in bedroom

paint bedroom

replace bedroom door

install kitchen cabinets in kitchen

paint kitchen

install floors in kitchen

put back stove, dishwasher, sink, and refrigerator in kitchen

put plumbing in kitchen from under house

install countertop

install furnace, central air unit, and all hvac ductwork

install hot water heater in back room
put floor down in back room
spackle back room
paint back room
make coat closet in back room

In the next few days I have to pick paint for all the rooms, and order and pay for kitchen cabinets.

I should have just enough money to buy the kitchen cabinets (stock cabinets they are $2,600, this is the cheapest option they have except buying them unstained and staining them myself.) I will charge the paint and pay it off when I get my insurance settlement.

I do not have enough money for:
paint
kitchen counter
any floors
toilet
vanity
pay HVAC guy ($4,000)
supplies for coat closet
bedroom door
living room closet door
pay floor guy for work he already did

But it is exciting to see progress. I am praying the job will be done by Jan. 29th (three months since the hurricane.) But that is very hopeful as the insurance company has until Jan. 28th to make a decision regarding my settlement amount (and then more time to actually send the check.)

Thanks again for all your support!
