BCM Community

Hey everyone... Just wanted to pop in for a moment and let ya'll know I'm still here and kicking...  Just been down and out for a while. 

Still no money from insurance, so... The bus project is at a complete standstill.  I just wanted to thank everyone again that sent donations...  They helped a lot in the first few weeks after the disaster.... 

Some of you sent parts instead... Which is also greatly appreciated!  A lot of work is still to come...  And, unfortunately, my health has taken a few bumps in the road since the fire...  I've pretty much been under the roof since it happened...  But, such is life sometimes. 

Some of you have emailed asking if we're still alive, what the progress is, if there are any updates, etc...  There is some progress, but not on the bus.  The house has been partially rebuilt.  The old structure was a complete total loss.  Nothing was salvaged, not even the outside brick.  It was permeated throughout and the damage was too extensive...  So, they trashed it all and started from a bare slab.

The base structure is in place, walls have been moved, little things that annoyed my parents about the house have been changed for the rebuild.  It's actually going quite fast and from what I understand...  the new house should be completed in about 3 to 4 months time from now.  We'll see how it goes.

After that, it's anybody's guess as to what will happen with the bus..  I'm still holding out hope for salvaging her...  But the money problems are proving to be impossible to overcome at the moment...  But, I'm not going to give up without a fight... 

So, when something new happens, I'll post an update.  Until then...  I'll just stay in the background and rest.  It's been a very trying year.

Again, thanks to everyone...  You've all shown just what this community is capable of and how you're all so much more than any modern "neighborhood" can even hope to be...  It's too bad the rest of the world can't be like this community...  It'd be such a better place.
