After walking the beach; a break from packing up my personal items for the restoration, Allen and I came upon this "tombstone" marking where the house once stood for the insurance adjusters. It is a sobering sight to see that the ocean just swallowed up the house and all that is left is a piece of slab and a piece of timber.
We met with the insurance person who handles personal effects for our policy. He was patient, very young [children can work now?] and went through my list with respect and care. We have really been lucky with the flood, windstorm, structure and personal effects adjusters. They all are trying to facilitate the losses in a fair and workable manner.
Now we have a very nice contractor and crew who will be getting started soon now that a permit is in the near future for the roof. If one doesn't have the proper inspections for the roof before and after, one can be denied windstorm coverage for the future so we are paying careful heed.
The tides were much lower this time. I will hopefully sleep better with that vision in my mind. When tides are high, it is just scarey!
The"best news of the day" is that Shrimp and Stuff restaurant is now open again! We went with Cal and contractor, Luby to check it out. There is a new owner [We cannot believe this!] but the food is just exactly as it has been for the past 20 years that we have been eating there. A small event that made us largely happy [and full!]
