exlurker, thanks for the update. Below is the link to the chapter's rebuilding effort.

Construction for the new house should begin in late May, completed in the summer 2008, and girls will move in that fall, Grady [rebuilding project manager] said.

The project will cost about $4 million, she said, and they are in the middle of a fundraising effort. She said people can support the project by visiting AXO Sigma Rebuild.

Does anyone have a link to a photo of the original house before the storm hit? It sounds like a beautiful home (and looks like it was too - from what you can envision from the storm damage photos). I was just curious to see a photo of the home in its original condition. The 4 story deck sounds awesome!

Glad to hear that they will be constructing another home soon. Although it won't completely erase the sadness of losing the old house, soon there will be many new memories developed in the new one.
