A Few Pics…
I was finally able to transfer some pictures!! Yay!! The TV and VCR, Digital Cable box and the DVD player are all moldy oldies now! LOL!! The shit smells so bad… now we have smellavision!! And thats just the living room stuff, there’s an even larger TV in the den with all the goodies in the very same fucked up condition.
A pretty good shot of the tree resting on the back of the house, you can see my dad in the red shirt inside the patio door on the right. We’re gonna have to hire people to come in and remove the tree, the squirrels are gonna be PISSED!! hehe
One of the first things I had to do was run upstairs and check on the grrrls!! They both fired right up!! Woohoo!! Still no ‘net connection of any kind over there though, again I’m blogging from a friends house a few miles away.
A quick self-portrait while I was out in the yard surveying and taking photos of everything, I took over 160 pictures of damage inside and outside of the house.
I have tons more photos that I will upload later when I can. We’ve been working our slap happy asses off cleaning all the debris out of the lower floor. The stench is incredible after 3 weeks of moisture sitting closed up in a hot wet house. There is water trapped inside the kitchen cabinets, mold and mildew growing up the walls, the floors and carpets are all ruined and we moved every stick of furniture out into the backyard yesterday, all destroyed!! Virtually everything on the lower floor is unsalvageable. I’ll have to post pics of the gut piles after we’re finished hehe But we’re getting it done! Hell yeah!!
We may have to haul ass again in the next day or two if Rita turns our way, wouldn’t that be a kick in the ass to get another one right over us!!! The governor cracked me up last night, mentioning someshit about moving all the stuff that you’ve just dragged OUT of your house back INSIDE!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

YEAHHHHHHHH!! First one to post here! My eyes water just thinking of that smell…..yuk. Great picture of you though! Handsome devil! Good of the grrrls too!
Watch the skies and run like hell if there’s need to! Hugs and I’ll light a candle for you.
I hope Rita stays the hell away from you guys!!! Be safe dammit!
Hugs and poinks darlin’
Looks like we may be in the same boat you were in soon.
What a dreadful mess!! I hope it doesn’t take too long to make your house habitable again!!
Hurricanes really blow.
I can’t even imagine the stench. I have such a sensitive nose that I would probably never make it. If the kids leave the packet of tuna unwrapped in trash I’m gagging. Do you need a couple cases of Fabreze?
BTW…..you’re place imay be a mess but you still look good.
Damn, what Boo said. I have a sensitive nose, can’t see nor hear worth a crap but I can smell very good and that crap would kill me. That tree looks like a lot of work, along with everything else.
I will now start doing my anti-hurricane dance.
I hope Rita keeps away from ya.. thats just what ya don’t need.. nice pic of you, damn , anyhows I don’t think I could handle that smell at all.. I am with Boo, need a few cases of Fabreze?
*poink*
HUGGZ
I can’t imagine the stentch! You are so funny, “smellavision” LOL
I hope Rita doesn’t come your way, you all have had MORE than your share.
Take care! *HUGS*
Hi you,
Having fun yet??? Yea, that’s what I thought
Poor you!! And squirrels suck, go get ‘em!
I admire you so much for the way you are handling all. You rule!!!
Wow… that is one big tree; maybe the squirrels won’t be so pissed if you give ‘em all itty bitty doobies like the guy above.
And shit, Sev, all ya need are a coupla braids to look like a young Willie! *poink comin’ atcha!*
Good luck in your cleaning endeavors and in skirting Rita.
:lol”: at Boo - yeah, Hurricaines blow. Get it? LOL
Honey, I admire you so much for keeping a positive attitude. It’s got to be hard. You’re such a trooper. *huge hugs*
oh, and WHERE’S YOUR PAPER MASK? *snicker*
Holy shit! And along comes Rita! I know she’ll make landfall somewhere, but I hope it’s not there - NO will be really fuggered if it does.
Good luck - know we’re all thinking about you and yours Sev.
Hey I’m glad to hear the house is still standing. The smell and the mess will go away with time. Hang in there and try to find a clothes pin for your nose. Remember the Grrrls made it and that is something to be happy about so try to stay focussed on that. I’m hopiing that Rita misses us both. Good Luck.
I can’t believe what a positive attitude you have. Sounds like a stinkin’ nightmare and you can still laugh. Sev, if you could bottle that…..
Good luck!
And Rita…STAY AWAY from NO!!
A little trick I found in a handy tips book: Put Fabric Softener Sheets out where ever there is a bad smell. They absorb a lot! If they can absorb the smell ob babies’ diapers, they can help with the day to day stuff until you can rid your house of the mold.
If I knew your address and thought mail would get to ya, I’d send you a few boxes!
My dad’ll get that tree for ya…all he’ll charge is gas money and the wood!
Rita…*sigh*…Come live with me, Sev!
(and i swear we weren’t drunk when you called)
That’s a big honkin’ tree! It’s good to see your house standing though. Sorry about the smellavision. I hope you can get the mold and mildew and smell out of your house. What a project, but at least you have a house and your computers work too! … And you look GREAT, you handsome dude! It’s nice to see the face that goes with the feet that you posted a while back!
that’s it sport… the double whammy of Kat-Rita is gawd’s way of sayin “Turn round ya dip! High ground THATAWY!”
(Course gawd dont misspell, ceptin on purpose of course)
Toss the kids in the trunk and MAKE LIKE YER TREE N LEAF!
no shit dude… vamanos. Now. dont make me come gitcha. stop and pick up jethro n zelda n da kids on yer way.. we’ll party here for awhile
Yeah, get everything inside so the water doesn’t have to go so far to get at it. Cripes….
Glad you at least are back in there starting the recovery, Rita looks like it will miss you guys for the most part, not that I wish it apon anyone else. At least this time there shouldn’t be any dumbasses saying “It’s OK I’m riding this sucker out” Stay safe.
I’m looking forward to the pictures.
Oh, and I’ll light a candle for you, too, if only to help with the smell. Heh.
You’re doing great, man. Keep on keepin’ on.
Those squirrels will be fine… they have weed right?
Good luck, and keep your spirits up!
That mold is horrible! Ugh!! I tell you what, we’ll take Rita off your hands. How’s that?
You amaze me with your positive attitude!! Hope Rita just peters out and everyone breathes a sigh of relief. Probably not gonna happen though. Good luck!
I worry about you around all that mould. It’s not too great for people with compromised immune systems, like oh transplant patients!!
Rob Corddry from the Daily Show said that God was basically just being a dick to the people of the left coast. I agree.
That sucks royally. But at least the whole house wasn’t destroyed. the hurricane is so heading to the Astrodome, I think New Orleans is safe.
damn sev,,what a mess!and how the hell do you get rid of mold??glad ur gurls are ok.also you and yours.hope rita doesn’t flood ya’ll.be safe.muahzzzzz
You can always replace stuff. There is only one YOU!
Actually, that’s prolly a good thing! LOL!!!
Post more pics when you can. It’s good to see reality every now and then…keeps us human…
Take care! Lilly
I can’t believe that mold! Ugh. What a mess. And I can’t believe that giant tree! Fuck the squirrels! Yeah, you heard it from me!
Rita is still headed straight for us in Galveston. We are at Kristin’s watching and waiting….
That mold in the wall wigs me out!! You better get rid of it soon, before it starts to walk and talk!!
i’m glad you are safe.
My thought are sooooo with you!
Hey Se7en. Get the hell out of Dodge if you have to. Rita looks mean. I am so glad you are well and that your “girls” seem just fine.
Just an FYI; our mutual friend Ole Blue has been evacuated!!
What are your plans now, with Rita coming?
I hate to say it darlin, but you need to haul your sweet self the fuck out of ‘Nawlins, AGAIN!
Rita is big ‘ol nasty bitch, and she will be floodin’ y’all out, again.
Stay Safe!!!
Hey, darlin I hope you got the hell outta Rita’s way!!! Take care, man
I admire your positive attitude, that’s a big job to do all that cleanup!
am glad you are safe.
just checking back…. I hope you’re out of rita’s path…
