We met with the contractor for our insurance company today. His name is Josh too - we'll call him Contractor Josh. He inspected the house and the site of the accident, making notes of what he thought should be done as well as what we wanted.
Contractor Josh thinks that in order to repair the wall they will need to excavate down to the foundation (at least 8 feet) and rebuild the whole wall up to the roof. They will need to bring in HVAC people and electricians in addition to all the construction.
We will have a structural engineer come in to inspect the rest of the house to make sure that there is no additional damage.
Right now, it looks like we will go through several weeks of repairs where we wont be able to stay in our home - if not longer. Things could easily change tomorrow.
Oh the joys of dealing with contractors, insurance agents, and men who allow their trucks to ram into our house.
Stay tuned for the next episode of "Rebuilding the Belbeck Wall"
