Hurricane Irene

Athough we suffered damage from Irene, which a lot luckier than most in the county. It primarily affected the library and the master bedroom. The ceiling and insulation had to be replaced in the library, but we ran with the damage in the master bedroom and decided to vault the ceiling, create a mediation loft and add a closet. It took almost a year for the work in the master bedroom to be completed, but here are some pics of the damage. Int he meanwhile the house was totally diplaced, with all of the belongings from other rooms moving into the front and back parlors, blue bedroom and hallway. For a few months the only livable room was the blue bedroom, and that was crammed with stuff!


Library Ceiling Soaked, all insulation and wood covered in mold

Master Bedroom all ripped up :(

Master Bedroom Stuff in Front Parlor

Blue bedroom filled

Middle Bedroom stuff in hallway - what a mess!

After the sheetrocker replaced the ceiling in the library, he left spackle globs all over the refinished floor. Grrrr!

New Sheet rock in the hallway
