I hope the neighbors don’t mind… much hehe
A couple people asked about why we are getting and using these trailers. The fact is most of these houses have not been repaired to date, including our house. All the interior walls are still torn out with bare studs and exposed wiring and the roof is still heavily damaged in the rear where the giant oak tree fell on it. It’s going to be many, many months before the place will be restored to it’s original condition. In our case we will likely have to have the entire house and slab raised as high as 3 feet above ground to meet the new flood plain standards set by FEMA. If we don’t bring the house up to the new standards they can refuse to renew the flood insurance.
FEMA and the insurance companies will help pay for the costs of meeting the new standards but there is a lot of red tape involved, surveys must be made, plans drawn, engineering permits approved and last but not least finding an actual contractor to do the work. As you can well imagine all contractors are absolutely overwhelmed with 100’s of thousands of homes needing massive amounts of repair work. I’m going to guess it could be as much as a year or more from NOW, five months after the hurricane, before the house is finished. And of course a lot of that time the property will be unlivable, hence the need for the trailers. Fun, fun FUN!! LOL
From the “I love to show off department” I’ve recently delivered a couple of cool new blog templates. This first one, “Renee’s Rants” was a christmas gift from one blogger to another! And this second one “A Hangover You Don’t Deserve” is very cool too! I’ve also got a few new templates up over at my Blogs Gone Wild! site! If you know anyone looking for a new skin for their blog, you know I appreciate all referrals very much!!

I like #3, but I’m a huge Daffy fan.
any of those trailers would look super cool!
I can’t believe how slow things are moving down there - getting trailers just NOW? wow. I’d be going on a road trip for SURE!
I like the daffy trailer!
Those blogs from BGW look great, hhhmmmmmm…
I like #1 - it kinda has a 60’s psychedelic thing happening. You and your Photoshop, geez
And you already KNOW how much I like the new blogs you created!
Hugs and Kisses!
I love the third one! Must check out new blog templates…..
Yup, I’d go with #3. Good job on the new blogs, they were both great as usual. Oh, & thanks for blogging about the housing situation, that has to suck, sorry for U and yours. I read some really shitty stories today on the situation there. GOVMNT SUCKS!
I like #3 too. The new templates are fab honey. Have a great day.
Oh, #3 wins hands down. Daffy rocks! ;p
#4. I love anything that looks like a Scorpion. After everyone living in those trailers for a year or more, there may be less people just because peeps are going to start hurting each other!!
How can you not go with Daffy?
First–I love that you’re whoring out my blog in your blog. It makes me feel special :)–especially when different people leave messages
And second, if I’m ever forced to live in a trailer (via natural disaster or if I have a brain lapse and move home to marry my old high school boyfriend) I’m going to make you come to my trailer and decorate it because if I have to live in a tin box which can be engulfed in flames in less than 13 seconds, then damn it it’s going to look good
#4 rocks man, easily the best
No.3, landslide.
Your new skins are nice, Se7en. I especially like the blue tile effect.
I like #1. Definitely #1.
#3 has my vote too, Sev! But it would only work if you have some pink flamingos around it! BTW, that trailer park site that you sent us to is about the funniest thing I’ve seen in ages!
Glad you are getting your digs together!
I love # 1!!
I vote for #2 and #4!
Dang, dude, did you get blown away down there?!?! Just heard that two tornados hit Nola. Jeepers!
Louisianan graffitti artists must be as busy as building contractors, what with all those plain white surfaces. You should just put up a sign next to your trailer encouraging any halfway-talented kids to go nuts!
Or perhaps you should just get the standard fur-bikini-sword-Valkyrie-riding-a-panther airbrush on the side.
I’m kinda partial to the # 2 Southwest La Raza look meself…
Hi sweetie! double *poinks* to ya!
I vote for number 3 right after sending a few poinks your way, sweetie. Love the new templets you made.
