We had another busy day today! Met with Rich from Allstate, CJ from Mark Scott Construction and Van, Troy and Doug from Paul David Restoration and Remodeling. CJ, Van and Doug went thru the entire house and measured every last nook and cranny and made drawings of our house! It is their job to write the bids for the work it will take to get our house back to pre-fire conditions (and then some!)! It took them hours! They know it will take x number of part number yz to put the stove back in its place, how many yards of carpet, how many fee of cabinets and counter top and how many gallons of paint, etc... They also went around the outside of the house to see what could be power washed or had to be repainted! They think it will be cheaper to get a new front door and security screen and we will have to see how well the windows in the dining room, living room and entry way clean up before they decide if they have to be replaced or not. They agreed to have the bids back to Rich by Wednesday of next week. That's when the momma will have to decide which contractor to go with. Rich said that they should be pretty close in price, so just go with who she would like to work with.
We got a phone call from Lish that the rental property and CRS had agreed to terms for our short-term lease. Momma has to fill out a form and e-mail it back to give CRS permission to make the payments for us! Momma said "twist my arm..."
Also found out that our kitchen has asbestos, so they have to do a special clean up for that! It spread with the smoke into the living room and hallway, so when they come tomorrow they'll have to put up special containment stuff.
We went to Drigon at 5pm for our play date and had a good time. I was extra snarky tonight and Sasha got to play with all her friends and then some! Teddi mostly got belly rubs, so we all had fun!
Momma has been getting lots of e-mails asking if we are going to have a fundraiser and asking what we need. That got the momma to thinking - the hounds of GGBR need more help then we do right now, so she made me a Firstgiving page telling everyone how I was rescued twice - First when GGBR placed me with the momma and dad on June 8, 2006 and then again this past Sunday, June 10, 2012 when Fireman Ed saved me from the house fire and brought me out to my momma! We hope all of our friends chip in $5 or $10 of their cookie money to help the homeless hounds, like I used to be!! If you want to check out my page go to:

Tell all your friends, too! The more the merrier, my momma alway says!!
We are going by the house again tomorrow 'cuz they're supposed to start packing up our things. But tonight - more cuddling with the momma (Sasha and I sleep with momma and Teddi sleeps with dad)! Have a great night and thanks again for all the love and support from everyone!
