Paddle faster....
I need to go to sleep.
Paddle faster....
I finally got to our farm tonight in western NC, about 4 miles from the Sparta quake. It's too dark to see much outside, but one stone retaining wall has some obvious damage and might be leaning just a bit. Another had an old crack that I think may have widened a touch.
The house itself seems sound - nothing obvious. No cracks in the fieldstone walls outside or plaster inside as best I can tell, all the tile work is intact, and the plumbing seems tight.
I'm waiting until tomorrow morning to turn on the propane for the stove. (Lat one night a few years ago, a house a couple blocks from me exploded from a gas leak. The couple rode their mattress up and out. He walked away; she had life-altering injuries. Their house was reduced to kindling. The houses on either side were knocked a little off their foundations. I'll play with electric. I won't play with gas!)
My SiL's brother is a general contractor. He's coming up this weekend to help with the inspection.

Apartment is a maze of boxes and vacuum-sealed bags.
I think I need to convince myself that I am moving so I weed out the crap I don't need.
One of my nephews is going through a divorce. I am using this as motivation to clean out kitchen cabinets and help furnish his new kitchen.
Sorry for your nephew. Sounds like you're being a good aunt.
We are going through him a virtual house warming. The situation just stinks since they have kids but I think it has been coming for a while. Don't know all the details, and don't want to, but I hate that all parties involved are hurting. Just don't know how to fix that.
