Hey there fellow SBer's. This is the 1st. time I've been on the internet since good ole CHARLEY. Wife, Son and I are OK. My house is wet and messy. I have worked since Fri the 13th for ten straight days before I had any time off and have logged 63 hours of overtime since then as well. I have to rebuild about half my house but like I told my wife at least I have one to rebuild. I have seen more heartache in the last week than I want to see in a long time. But you can't cry over spilt milk. We wanted to remodel anyway and now we get the Ins. Co. to help pay for it. Had the adjuster out yesterday and I wasn't impressed. We argued over about water damage that he wanted to just paint over :11: . I asked him about temporary housing and about buying a small trailer to use and have Ins. pay for it and he stated that the Ins. Co. usually don't do it that way. I stated that what difference does it matter if the Ins. Co. pays Days Inn for my shelter or RV World. But I got a call from him today and the Co. has agreed to pay for a trailer, can you believe it. 
From what he told me that because of the amount of people displaced from there homes and the hundreds of workers here to help that no housing is available. My neighbor found a place in Venice for $2,200 per month and that is about average. So what my Ins. Co. is going to do is figure approx. how many months my house will be un-liveable and pay me for those. So if I'm out six months I will get $12,00.00 towards a new travel trailer.
Anyway again we are all safe and I'm jonesing for venice Beach dive. I want to thank CBulla, KBulla and ReefGuy for there concerns and support. My cell phone was not working and finally got to eat a hot meal in Venice I think Mon or Tues. (everyday is the same here...I've not read a full newspaper since Charley hit. I just keep saving them up) I was finally able to check phone messages and they all called to ckeck on me and offer help. I want to thank 8buck for checking in with me a couple of times and offering up help or what ever I needed.
What a great little group we have here on the Scuba Board.
