What to do...

Well, the point of this blog is to inform family and friends: what are we going to do?

There's no assistance available today from any of the likely sources (insurance, builder, government), the health risks are unknown, and the property value is shot. Can't afford to live elsewhere and pay this mortgage, can't afford to walk away - it needs to get fixed - so we're going to fix it ourselves.

My wife and kids (ages 1 and 3) are moving in with family, and I will live in the house and conduct repairs myself. I have an actual job, so the repairs will be 5pm - 10pm weekdays, and 10 hours per day Saturday and Sunday. This should give me a 40 hour work week, on top of my actual 40+ hour work week.

Move out is May 8th. Company travel afterward, then removal of fixtures begins. Stay tuned!
