      Hey everybody. I have been out of the loop for a while. I just read some of the suggestions regarding my house and the repairs I needed. Sometimes what seems like a disaster really isn't. Back on September 21st 2010, I got up at 4:00 am to get ready to go to work and rain was pouring through my ceiling fan. There was nothing I could do at that time of day, so I went on to work. Thank God there was concrete under the carpet. Anyway....Insurance is a wonderful thing. I filed a claim with my insurnace company while I was at work and by the time I came home that evening, Servpro was taking care of the water damage. With my insurance money, I was able to relace my ceiling, replace the three sections of my roof that needed to be replaced and replace the carpet with floor tile, which was what I had been dreaming of doing anyway. It took me from September until February to get everything done. There were several mix ups with my check from the insurance company. I didn't mind because being patient is very rewarding. I ended up with almost $1000 more when everything was settled with my insurance payment. I have five more years, then my house will be paid for. In between now and those five years, I plan to have little repairs done along the way. After the house is paid off, I plan to get another loan to do some work in the kitchen and bathroom. After everything is done, I will sell it and start over with the money left over after paying off the loan that I get for the repairs. Or I will rent it out on Section 8. Sounds like a plan to me. I have been divorced since December of 1990. I had planned to be remarried by now. But if I'm not by the time I finish the plans with the house, I may move out of town or even out of state. So... I know it's true. Blessings come in disguises. I thank God for all of my many blessings.
