I just realized I have not blogged about my house. First I need to tell you our house caught fire on November 14, 2004. The house was not burnt down, but it was burnt in the inside and was not safe to live in. The basement was where the 1st fire started (yes I said 1st). So in that fire everything got smoked and water and soot damged. From then everything was stolen, and I mean everything, aluminal siding, air conditioner, all the cooper wire, pipes, tv, cd's, dvd's, my guitar, everything! So since then our claim with State Farm was denied because we when we left that night we took out cat with us, which we always took the thing with us everywhere. So fast foward to Labor day weekend 2007. The whole family was at the Homecoming carnival in Bethalto. about 9:00, Jordan, the boys, and I drove by the house to go home, and got home mybe 10 minutes later. As soon as we were home we put the boys in their beds, they were already asleep, and I put pjs on. I just got my pjs on and my mom calls and says the house is on fire again. Again can you believe it! My house was on fire again! I put some clothes on and drive to the house another 10 minutes away. I got about 1 mile from the house and I could see a glow above about where my house would be, and all this smoke. I parked my car at the end of my street and see the whole house on fire. This time the house did not burn down completely but unlike last time we could not enter the house, all windows were broken out, the ceiling fell, it was bad. So fast foward to Dec 11, 2007 we have decided to rebuild the house and get it going while we are in the process of sueing state farm. So on Dec 11 the start to tear down our house. The house was down within 30 minutes of them starting. By December 14 the house was gone, the basement gone, and the hole filled. So I have pictures of the house from before the tear down and while the tear down. They are suppose to cut down a huge tree in the side lot next to the driveway and then start digging the hole for the new house. So here are the pics.
