It has been a VERY long road but we started moving back in this past weekend. Bills so far have been $78,000.

Last I spoke with smaxxin he said it had gotten about 2 ft from his house and started to recede. So it looks like he has lucked out.
The worst pain I have ever felt was seeing all of my belongings stacked in front of my house awaiting a truck to come haul it all away to the dump.
