Waiting anxiously for my demo date of my Port Monmouth house this week…in less than 2 months from today my modular will be delivered…it is in production now.I have removed all the windows and any salvageable things not touched by hurricane Sandy. My plumber cut and capped the sewar and all utilities disconnected. Have all deposits on my crew including my pile company …cannot wait to start drive the first pile. Although I have been doing construction for over 25 years I have never built a modular. I have gutted homes and put them back together, I stick built my own home and designed it. To date I have 24 homes under my belt that I have breathed life back into and made gorgeous homes. This is a new venture for me. I got my builders license to be able to design and custom build my own modular direct through the manufacturer after Irene took my Highlands home, which was slammed again by Sandy before I could rebuild weeks before I was to order the modular. I have sold the lot recently with great sadness, but I need the cash in order to rebuild my Middletown home and my 2 family in Union Beach. Where 2 were lost in Union Beach, (1) 2 family goes back. I am grateful today I am told I will be getting a check any day from the state in grant funds . By Nov. I will be dropping my other 2 family in Union Beach if all goes well. I feel very fortunate and after speaking to my structural engineer he thinks we should keep going with this with him doing the design on my foundations..we shall see. My lawsuit is still pending against the insurance company for Union Beach and I spoke to Senator Menendez office telling them my tale of FEMA..they have a whole collection of FEMA and their antics. You can watch if you are around Wed morn 11:00 C span …they are putting the head of FEMA Craig Fugate on the stand. All I know is I feel tired a bit emotionally and the wait has taken its toll on all of us as we were stalled by grant funding, insurance payments, and towns…not to mention the contractors throwing stupid numbers out there. I will be on the road to recovery very shortly and all this junk will be a memory. My homes will stand tall and proud when they are finished. I will be elated not without stress, but I will have survived and recovered. The human spirit is resilient and the strength you need come from ones Faith and perseverance . Tonight when I lay my head down, I will say a prayer for not just what I need to achieve , but for all those who still are in it with no end in sight…THIS IS ONLY A MOMENT IN TIME….HOLD ON…YOUR DAY WILL COME AND YOU WILL BE WHOLE AGAIN~
