As many of you have heard tragedy struck my family last week. In the middle of home renovation we discovered the ceiling was made of asbestos, as apparently many materials from the era this house was built in were, and the house was thoroughly contaminated. In the end we found an honest cleaner and had the house cleaned. In this case cleaning means we lost the vast majority of our possessions and cost around 7000.00.
The only real difference between this and a fire was we have a house afterward. If you want the details of what was thrown out just ask but knowing all of you I can think of one or two things each that would make you cringe.
A number of people has asked how they can help so we set up a Target gift list for those so inclined.
Additionally we are having a house re-warming BBQ this 4th of July for those of you close enough, bring meat we'll bring the coals.
We still have the important things, our family and a roof over our head but it is going to be a lean year though we will make it and once repairs are done I imagine the value of our house will only be higher.
In short it has been hard but we are coping and will survive.
Erick, Cymon, and Shiva.
