Day 8 of hurricane Ian flood recovery at our house:

We had some amazing friends come and help us tear the majority of our kitchen apart down to the studs and then our buddy even found a floor scraping machine and rented it in Orlando and brought it up to do the arm-breaking work for us to dig up remaining hardwood floors and glue… still a lot left to scrape but almost all the walls are out, save a couple small spots.

Thanks to Cru friends who came and did so much of the work and our new friends from our homeschool coop… one of whom has the distinction of being the first and only Florida board certified feline medicine veterinarian! Pretty cool!

Here’s a video for some live action!

And lastly, after all our friends left, we decided to light the first fire of the season! And some neighbors walked by and offered their s’mores roasters and grahams and marshmallows to roast (because we talked and I realized I didn’t know where ours were packed!) 😂🔥
