Yes Dave, he's rebuilding the same house and in the same place.
I guess that he feels that lightning won't strike three times in the same place.

John:
Someone should tell Gaaspare that lightning can strike hundresd of times in the same place (like the top of the Emprire State Building).

Update III
Working like crazy, 6, sometimes 7 days a week....I still have a ton of work to do.*Getting my insurance checks though!!! the 'building' checks have to go thru the mortgage co. first where they like to dole them out in 3rds,,,I'll probably get 2/3s right away,,,,I've been busy! Getting kitchen cabinets put in the next few days,,a few windows and flooring the week after..polish the sheet rock,,prime paint,, Then gotta switch out the baseboard rads..Did one bathroom complete,,have the girls bathroom next to finish...tired..so much little stuff, crazy stuff,,door knobs, closet shelves -and hanger rods,,saddles, all thr plumbing hook-ups ,traps etc..Last will be the paint and finsh flooring/carpet but I'm a ways off for that.. Even after that gotta get all our furniture, appliances etc. back!! Seems impossible sometimes but We're trying to get back in home by end of Feb.. A few guys wrote and asked about me going to the SOS,,,sorry guys not looking too good , next year......Found a box with some great documents, I.D.s, foreign vol. propaganda,,,Cossack photos etc.,,,,all ruined.. They are there still in their mylar,,just soaked with salt water,,,ink stamps bled etc.. Found some badges /medals ,,was mint stuff,,washed them off in fresh water wrapped in a lightly soaked wd-40 rags and left in my backyard shed,,,3 days later they looked like sugar frosted flakes underneath,like acid stained....All the daggers/fighting knifes etc. after this 2nd flood are totaled. My 2 uncles load of bring backs,,shot,,can't look at the stuff.. Still have a full U.S. army trunk just full of what was mint insignia/medals/badges/weird stuff/photo albums, a few caps,,,all shot......Again,,thanks guys for all the help and prayers,,they still matter and help!...God Bless,,,Gaspare and family.....
