  1. I also agree. I believe theyr'e just going to tear it down to the studs and go from there to see if it should be leveled or keep the studs and such and put new drywall up. I should know here by Wednesday or so.

     

     

    I'd rather just have the first floor of the house leveled and start over and possibly make some floor plan changes but I'm not at that point yet.

  2. With that much mold now, I can almost guarantee the drywall/insulation/HVAC is going to be ripped out and replaced.

     

    How is the circuit breaker? If it’s not up to code, the electrician will have to replace/upgrade everything to bring it current. (No pun intended)

     

     

    Yeah they already started tearing down the drywall upstairs.

     

     

     

    the breaker box was upgraded when we moved in but the electrical guy said it will be all ripped out and re-wired.

  3. yea they are putting in work today. Are they gutting the kitchen cabinets?

     

    no idea. They haven't gotten to the laundry room/computer room in the basement.

     

    GOD I hope they rip down the entire kitchen. That's the ONLY part of the house that hasn't been upgraded/touched yet lol

  4. Buck, where are you guys staying? I have a vacancy coming up at one of my houses soon if you need to crash. Sorry to hear this man.

     

     

    We're at my Moms house in Westerville until Tuesday. We got a 3 bedroom ranch in Strawberry Farms (Westerville) that we'll be moving in on Tuesday. Estimates go from 6 months to a year.

  5. I'm not into gofundme stuff but my niece set this up. It's for both of our houses (neighbors and mine). My neighbors basically lost everything. I'll probably give most of the money to them.

  6. So we were able to save a LOT of sentimental shit. Marriage license, pictures, father in laws stuff under the table in the family room. Surprisingly enough, the basement was untouched. I honestly think the hardwood (pergo) floors I put in years ago helped the water from seeping through the floors. There was some dripping but nothing that bad.

     

     

     

    Got my dads old bar out. Most of the smoke damage was upstairs.

     

     

     

    I feel bad for my neighbor has she hasn't even come back to the house yet and hers is a TOTAL loss. I mean. Everything she had.. gone. At least we were able to save some stuff.

     

     

     

    I made a few calls to Gahanna bridges (he came out yesterday morning). They help families in shit situations like this. He gave me the area manager to a guy at Serve Pro. Ya know. water clean up, all that shit. etc. You've seen them on TV. He was out in 30 minutes. Explained everything. He actually did say some of the stuff that Coaster posted above about the insurance companies and they don't just clean junk up. They have another team that will rebuild the house. Just need to take it step by step. I haven't signed shit yet so that's a good thing I guess. Hell the guy from serve pro came out faster than I talked to the damn insurance Company (Hanover)

     

     

    So I guess my insurance will run it through them and whatever bill they get will send it to my neighbors (State Farm.. they fucking better cover it) and go from there. Guy said we're probably looking at at least 9 months before its even done (maybe longer).

     

     

     

    Thanks for all the support guys. I'm trying to keep a positive attitude on this. Wife is ok now that we got the sentimental shit out of the house.

  7. Only thing we need right now is some cheap android phone for my wife. She somehow dropped it yesterday morning and it cracked the screen and jacked the whole phone. If anyone has one locally we can pick up today that would be awesome. Something stupid cheap and old. She had a lg g2 which is like 10 years old so anything would work. No iphones though. Sprint is the carrier. Shoot me a pm if you have something.

     

    Thanks

  8. Ya the cars are all good. I called my insurance and i. Waiting for a call tomorrow to figure shit out. Gonna be a long fucking road.

     

    Bright side. Basically getting a new house. Always wanted to do a massive remodel anyways.

  9. Put skinnies on the front and a real tire on the rear and I bet it goes 11s

     

    The 60' won't get any better on a slick. Last time I put a 255 Drag radial on the back I shredded the differential at Killkare last year.

  10. Buy a bottle of Boostane and bump the timing a little. Nothing wrong with the car as it sits.

     

     

    Yeah I might just get a few gallons of 104 or whatever the unleaded stuff is on 70/Hamilton. I'm almost maxed at 20/21 degrees of timing but might be able to squeeze a little more out of it.

     

     

    50 shot and start stripping weight :)

     

     

    Trying to his 11's on pump 93. It also doesn't help I'm 300 lbs :(. Without diving into it too much there's not much weight I can take out. It's 2900 lbs without me in it on fumes. I might port the spare blower I have in the garage and toss that on. The needle bearings are shot in the current blower.

  11. No. actually it's maxed for the mods on the car which sucks because I want a 11 second pass on pump gas. Best I've done was like 12.013 last year and 12.08 a month ago with a 1.68 or so 60'.

     

     

     

    The only other thing I can probably do is some race gas and bump the timing up a little and bring a bag of ice for the blower. Then I might hit that 11 second pass. Maybe not. I'm just happy it runs good. Drive it every day to work when it doesn't rain and just put new carpet and seat covers in it last weekend.

  12. I looked at the schedule for race day last night.

     

    Basically gates open at 9 for racers. Roll racing from noon-4. T&T from 4-6 for drag racing. 6-11 for eliminations. Anyone know if we can come in like at noon and not have to wait 7 hours to race or does the registration close at a certain time?
