As Batch mentioned in his previous post, we began work our on the flooded home last week. First Presbyterian in Biloxi had over 147 volunteers spend the week between Christmas and New Year's helping families such as us continue the clean up and rebuilding effort. We were extremely blessed by the helping hands of volunteers from Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Georgia as well as our local adopted family. There are no words to adequately describe the gratitude Batch and I feel for these individuals and teams. What follows are pictures of the house taken after the teams left...Although most people might say it looks worse now than before we started,
in the renovation process we've learned that it always looks worse before it looks better. That impressive pile is the hardwork of approximately 25-30 volunteers over a 4 day period. Pretty impressive!!
The walls labeled "demo" will be removed to open up the kitchen, dining and living rooms. It will be a great entertaining space once it's complete!
Batch stands in front of what will soon be french doors leading from the living room to the backyard. Our plans are to one day have a deck out there for more entertaining space.
Hopefully, these pictures show y'all at least some of our vision for the place. Are you ready to come help us make it happen? If so, please check back soon. We hope to have a project plan posted by the end of the week!!

Yea! I've been waiting for pics. Your new house looks beautiful. Cant wait to see it.
Can't believe you've closed on the house and started rebuilding already. It will be great to watch the progress. Keep up the good work and keep the pictures coming on-line. God really took care of you guys.
