It seems that is all I do on here.<br />
Even though we haven't been traveling, we have been busy. Our motor home is still in the shop. It's been 7 months! Harvey really did a job on her. Everything is just about fixed except for one part. Ron Hoover RV in Houston, took the rv to the Freightliner shop for some of the repairs that they couldn't do. Freightliner is now telling us that one of the parts, the ICU cluster is discontinued and they can't get the part. Our speedometer and gauge lights flash on and off. Because of this we can't pass inspection to get our tags renewed. Now what do we do? We have searched the internet and so far have had no luck. Our insurance (Good Sams by the way) is not being helpful at all. They basically have said, sorry, tough luck. Just about everything electrical was knocked out. TV's, radio, refrigerator, transmission gear buttons ? (those buttons on side that change gears) and some of the plug ins. All of this has been fixed. Now what do we do? Any help is appreciated.<br />
<br />
Now I will show you what I have been doing.<br />

This mixed media is a painting my sister saw in Italy this year. She wanted me to paint if for her. It's different from anything I have ever done but I think I love it!<br />
Painting is very helpful for releaving stress. I probably should paint some more. LOL<br />

Guest bathroom. I didn't get a picture of tub/shower. It's to the right.<br />
Next pictures should show granite, flat work (concrete outside) and flooring. Electricity should be hooked up by then too so that pictures wont be as dark.<br />
All the dots or what looks like dots on the walls, are the texture that has been applied. Paint is a-coming soon.<br />

the living room, bar and kitchen area<br />
They are ready to tape and mud the drywall. I am picking out appliances now. <br />
Did I mention that I lost my small coach purse. The little one that hangs off my arm. Well, I guess it fell off, I left it on a table or Doug threw it away with the trash. I have cancelled all my credit cards and tomorrow I will go get new drivers license. What a pain!!! Insurance cards should all be in the mail too. I hope I haven't forgotten anything. I think I am going to take a picture of everything in my new wallet so I will know what is in it, if there ever is a next time. fastalkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11826337988006066321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453776111408624873.post-32655420362143510222017-10-10T21:46:00.001-05:002017-10-10T21:46:23.046-05:00more pictures of house<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then dug out another 5 ft. and added the third tank. Tomorrow after inspection, they will cover these up and dig the lines. Don't fully understand how but from the time "it" goes from tank 1 to tank 3, "it" will be "clean" water that will water the back field. 😅<br />
Now back to inside the house....<br />

They should have Mike's house completed tomorrow and will start on ours. Ours should be done in one day at the speed this crew works. For some reason my pictures didn't all upload. I will add more tomorrow. Doug has a doctor appointment tomorrow so it will be late.<br />

Well not everything. All outlets are now working. Now that there is power to all outlets we found out that the tv in the bedroom didn't survive. The red light showing it's getting power is all it will do. Looks like we will be shopping for a tv for the bedroom. The direct tv didn't survive either. The tv in the living room is fine. So is the surround sound. The winguard that controls the dish on roof is working but the HD-DVR isn't. Guess it's time to contact direct tv. The lightening took out our inverter, one breaker, two gfci outlets and two regular outlets. The surge proctector we have is fine. When I asked why didn't the surge protector keep this from happening, this is what he told me. The electricity was going off and on because of the storm. The SP cycles on with the electricity but it takes a second or two when it first comes on. With the storm shutting power on and off and then lighening striking right behind us. It was just a perfect storm. There were about 6 units that took a big hit besides ours. A brand new Entegra had to go back to factory to be repaired, another motorhome had $37,000 roof leak! Insurance wouldn't repair just the front two panels, they wanted the entire ceiling replaced. I don't know if owner is going to do entire ceiling (but if he doesn't insurance won't fix it again). Another unit had all the wires melted in it. Insurance wanted to total it. It was a 2007. Owner didn't want it totaled. I don't know what they decided. It has been a mess to deal with for everyone. This was my first experience with a hurricane. I don't think I like them!<br />
On a good note, sheetrock should go up in the house this week. They have to inspect all electric and water before walls go up. This should all be done by thursday. Hopefully, friday the walls go up!<br />

We have a large built-in surge protector but apparently it didn't save everything. We have electricity on side of the bus and not the other. What I thought would be a simple fix, is still causing us headaches. The inverter was toast. We had that replaced. Still same problems. They replaced a couple of breakers. Still same problems. He found a dead plug behind the refrigerator. It has been running on LP. He changed that out. It's still running on LP and same dead plugs on left side of bus. One of the GFCI plugs was blown. That was replaced. Still same.... We found two more dead plugs up front. One was the TV and the other was satellite. Both work when plugged in elsewhere thank goodness. By the time we get this thing fixed, we should have all new electrical. My washer/dryer works but only the washer. Dryer isn't drying clothes. Now what! We weren't the only ones to have electrical problems. Several had inverters blown and a/c's messed up. One brand new Entegra was told by Entegra to head back to plant. Theirs could only be repaired at manufacturing plant. A Winnebago Tour had a leak in the roof and insurance paid them $37,000 to replace entire ceiling inside. I guess things could be worse for us. We have lights, AC and the fridge is working fine on LP (it's brand new). <br />
Hoping tomorrow they can finally get this all fixed.<br />

This is their house. A tree had fallen and knocked out electricity.. Yes, the downed wire is dead.<br />
Don't think I would have had the nerve even knowing it was dead.<br />

While Doug was in the hospital, Lucas and John decided to wash all the vehicles. He was so serious about his work.<br />

His surgery was a breeze. He has had no pain at all. In fact, the pain he was having up until the surgery is gone. He is eating with no problems and he walked the entire 4th floor. The only thing he has had is a little shortness of breath. They have checked him out top to bottom and find nothing. The only thing off is his billirubin. I think that's how you spell it. He is alittle jaundice but that is improving. He is still in the hospital because of the billirubin. They will draw blood tonight and if it is continueing to fall, he will be released. If it isn't, they will do a procedure (that I can't remember what it's called) where they drop a camera down his throat and look for a stone in his ducts around the colon, pancreas and liver. If they find one they can retrieve it. Let's hope it doesn't come to that. We will know in the morning. He if feeling great, so we don't anticipate any problems.<br />
On the Houston/Pearland front. The flooding is horrible. <br />

Neighbor across the street sent us this picture of the flooding in our neighborhood. Though the yard is flooded, it is nowhere near reaching the house. Let's hope it stays that way.<br />
<br />
The RV Resort has some flooding in it, but it is in the older section of the park. Where we are is in the newer section and it is much higher. There isn't any flooding there. In fact, they are letting people park their cars in sites that are empty. Let's hope that this flooding doesn't get any worse. As of now, some have water up to but not over their steps. Sure wish Harvey would move on.<br />
Everyone stay safe.<br />
Later<br />

Mike, Kaitlyn and Lucas in their truck and Doug and I following in ours. Of course Buddy and Buster were along for the ride too.<br />
We arrived in St. Francisville, La. around 8:30. we were going to stay at Kaitlyn's parents house.<br />
By the time we arrived in St. Francisville, Doug wasn't feeling very well. His stomach was a little quesy and it ached a little. He decided to go on to bed not long after we got there.<br />
The next morning Doug was in severe pain and broke out in a cold sweat. He was ready to see a doctor. Doug is never ready to go to the doctor so I knew it must be bad. We went to the small hospital there in town. When they saw Doug, they took him right back and started drawing blood and taking x-rays. They thought at first he was having a heart attack. Blood work ruled out heart attack. Doctor ordered a CT of his abdomen. By now he is in terrible pain but they still cant give him anything until all of his tests come back. It wasn't long they gave him something and the doctor came in and told us that Doug had pancreatitis. His liver enzymes were elevated also. It seemed that Doug also had cholitis. ( I don't know if I spelled all this things right.) He has never had gallbladder problems before. The small hospital in town couldn't do everything Doug was going to need so they transferred him to Our Lady of the Lake Medical Center in Baton Rouge. We are still here.<br />
Doug is better but his pancreas is still very much inflamed. The way they explained it is this:<br />
A gall stone came out of his gallbladder and lodged in the duct that is connected to the pancreas. It also blocked the duct connected to the liver. Everything backed up causing his liver and pancreas to get inflamed. They are not sure if the stone has passed or not. They believe it has. Once things calm down they are going to remove his gallbladder and he should be fine. He has been NPO until tonight. They let him have jello and juice. He tollerated that fine so things must be looking up.<br />
Hopefully, he will be well enough to have the surgery tomorrow or the next day. He will then be discharged.<br />
All of this happening has kind of put the hurricane out of our minds. As far as I know, the houses are fine and so is the motorhome. The Brazos river is expected to flood, so our neighborhood will also have some flooding but we are high enough that the houses shouldn't be affected.<br />
When Doug gets released from the hospital, we will make our plans to go back to Pearland.<br />
Stay safe everyone.<br />

After having to fire the framers, they finally got some good workers and we are seeing progress again. The roof is suppose to go on starting Monday. Our little house already has the roof and they are trying to catch the big house up. Plumbing and electric are roughed in on both houses.<br />

My little house, waits for big Bertha to catch up.<br />
The painters are prepping the siding. Paint should go on after the roof is on next week. I can't wait to get that yellow covered up. <br />
I took pictures of the inside but without walls it is too hard to really tell anything. They just look like a bunch of 2x4's. Soon, I hope.... soon<br />

After raining all morning, the guys decided to go outside and try to catch some fish. It wasn't long before I looked out the window and saw that Logan had caught his first fish. Pepaw was trying to get Logan to look my way, but he was too busy for that.<br />
I headed that way and by the time I got there he had caught another one.<br />

Before I knew it, he had caught 7 fish! Of course these little ones were released back into the lake. But he sure enjoyed catching them. I think Pepaw had fun too.<br />
It wasn't long Mike, Kaitlyn and Lucas showed up. Though a little over dressed, they decided to join us.<br />

He wanted to hold the fish. Logan wanted no part of that. He went to watch the turtles.<br />

Then Kaitlyn decided she needed to catch one. I was too close on this one to get the fish in the picture. sorry... my bad.<br />

Then I decided, well, if it's that easy, I have to try. Yep, I got one too.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We all had fun, even the turtles.<br />
It's a shame that it's a catch and release lake. There are some pretty big bass in there too. We were having too much fun with the little perch that we didn't even try for any thing else.<br />
It was a fun day.<br />

We spent Wednesday mowing at the property. The weather was nice and there was a cool breeze blowing all day. Of course, it was Tropical storm Cindy that was supplying the breeze, but that's ok, it felt good and she went southeast of us.<br />

What's really funny is I was so fixed on getting a picture of the siding going up, I didn't even notice the guy posing in the picture. LOL This is not the final color. Just the siding. It will be painted a grey.</div>

I think these bridges were near Port Arthur Tx. The older of the two was used as the west bound and the newer one was the east bound. <br />

I did not care for this bridge. The side rails were almost non existant and I kept feeling like we were going to drive right off it. I didn't take any pictures while on it for that reason. I was too busy closing my eyes.<br />

The gulf seems to be taking a lot of the beach and roadways back. This crew was busy trying to stop it. Lots of sand being brought in. There were a few places that had eroded all the way up to the highway.<br />

Terry and LaDonna have recently moved to Lake Charles and they took us to a neat little taco bar in old downtown. Fun was had by all. It is always good to see old friends and make new ones.<br />
Wednesday, we headed for Galveston.<br />
<br />
I will try and finish this blog tonight. It is Thursday and we had a full day today. Libbie and I walked the length of the Strand, taking in all the shops. I even learned how to pay for parking on my phone. My I am learning all kinds of things.<br />

We also toured the Bishops Palace today. It was beautiful. They are doing some renovations with more coming in the future. The Greshams had the house built in 1892 and lived in it until it was purchased for the Bishop in 1921.<br />

notice the three faucets on the tub. One for hot, cold and rainwater. Rainwater was better for your hair.<br />
After a long day of walking, shopping and touring, we finished out the day at Nicks Kitchen. The seafood was great. Now to rest.<br />

Right now we are in Marksville, La. We met up with Jim and Libbie at the Paragon Casino. We arrived on Friday, June 9th and leave tomorrow, Tuesday, June 13th. We are headed to Galveston but couldn't get reservations until Wednesday. We will stop in Lake Charles for the night and then head on to Galveston. This will be Jim and Libbie's first trip there. We had the short weekend trip a couple of months ago but there is so much we didn't see. I am looking forward to the return to Galveston.</div>

Don't ask me why one Kobe beef is from Japan and one from Australia, or what the difference is. I just know it melted in my mouth and was fantastic. Mike had red fish so I didn't even take a picture of that. LOL</div>

Holes are drilled through the braces and after the concrete dries, tension is pulled to tighten up and hold the concrete making it stronger. I don't understand it, but they must believe in the process because the builder guarantees his home and foundation for 20 years. Impressive!<br />

If the weather permits, they are hoping to pour the foundation on Wednesday. Some of the plumbing was not correct and should be fixed before then. Hope the weather cooperates. <br />

On the homefront here at the motorhome, our front a/c had to be repaired. The fan motor went out. Estimate was $380 for new motor and labor or $1600 for new unit (ours has heat pump also). Our unit was original (1999) but we decided to take a chance on it. It is working fine and we hope it lasts a few more years. <br />

All the dirt work is finally completed and forms out for the slab. Plumbers managed to get a lot of the plumbing roughed in.<br />

Before the rains came, it was a pretty day. There were a lot of parachutist (is that a word and is it spelled right LOL) out. There is a jump site not far from land. This poor guy didn't land where he was suppose to.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, rain is in the forecast for the next few days.<br />
