Welcome back!! I hope you rebuild quickly and without issue.

My MIL lives in Staten Island but was lucky enough to only lose power for a couple of days, and my brother's family lives in Bergen Country and lost power for almost 2 weeks. Nothing, compared to what you are going through!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-reintroduction#post-440831 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:27:40 +0000 PastaAndPotato 440831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chibee: ugh, that's so rough with no flood insurance, i hope everything works out for them. our first floor was totaled, and is stripped down now to studs and floor joists and all sprayed for mold. we're on a narrow part of the island, so we're 1 block from the bay and 4 from the beach - luckily, though, everything around town seems to be getting back together, so things are finally starting to look back to normal - just a slow slow process, especially farther north where you are, its just so crazy! i keep telling the hubs that the whole thing is still surreal </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-reintroduction#post-440811 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:24:14 +0000 PastaAndPotato 440811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: @sorrycharlie: @BabyBoecksMom: @Leialou: thanks ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-reintroduction#post-439607 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 23:57:42 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 439607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Welcome back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-reintroduction#post-439558 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 22:39:28 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 439558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Welcome back and good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-reintroduction#post-439555 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 22:38:31 +0000 chibee 439555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastaandpotato: they had FEMA in within less than a week and they started the repair work within a week! they knew it was bad and they had to move fast - unfortunately they got nothing from the insurance company (since they didn't have a mortgage they had opted out of the flood insurance). they live only 2 blocks from the beach and we are about a mile so we escaped any damage, and I am so thankful for that! did you have a lot of damage to your house? I'm still in shock of how much damage there was from Sandy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-reintroduction#post-439427 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 20:06:14 +0000 sorrycharlie 439427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>welcome back! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-reintroduction#post-439347 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 18:10:55 +0000 mrsjyw 439347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PastaAndPotato: welcome back !! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-reintroduction#post-439336 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 17:51:11 +0000 PastaAndPotato 439336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: thank you!</p> <p>@chibee: i'm so sorry for your in-laws. is there house going to be able to be repaired? and how was your house? we had called our insurance co. and started the claim process between the 2 tides, so we actually had the adjuster from them at our house within about a week and a half, which was awesome (even though they're saying about another 3 weeks before we start seeing settlement amounts) - i was totally impressed w/FEMA, too!</p> <p>@Andrea: thank you, it really has been exceptional how helpful everyone we've been dealing with has been. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-reintroduction#post-439316 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 17:19:30 +0000 Andrea 439316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PastaAndPotato: so sorry to hear, but that is great that it hasn't been a nightmare to get assistance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-reintroduction#post-439281 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 16:19:26 +0000 chibee 439281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastaandpotato: welcome! so sorry to hear how your house was affected through Sandy - i live in point pleasant and my in-laws had to move in w/us as well since their home was destroyed. I have to agree, FEMA has been really impressive! can't say too much about their insurance company but FEMA really stepped up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-reintroduction#post-439211 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 14:34:27 +0000 Ash 439211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Welcome back!
