Day 26 post tree disaster

I heard from the general contractor and permits have been applied for and he's waiting to hear back from the county.  He said he does not anticipate any issues.  I did not hear back from the insurance adjuster so I called around 3:30 pm to make sure he's received my emails with the scope of work updates/corrections/additions.  He said he had and that he was on his way to another site and that he would look at my emails tonight.  I went on to tell him about the mold issue and he sounded surprised that I didn't already have a temporary power pole set up so we could get the sump pump running again.  The problem is that he sent the preliminary scope of work late Wednesday night. The next day was a holiday. Then it takes the county some amount of time to review the permit and hopefully grant it.  Then it takes some time for an electrician to set the pole and the power company to turn power back on.  While all this time is going on, my house continues to mold.

I've been moving items out of rooms that were not damaged because of the humidity and all of the clothes in my husband's closet will need to be washed in order to salvage them.  Everything smells like mildew.  A pair of his shoes are ruined because they're molding.  One of  my double strollers is covered in mold.  And this is on items that are in rooms that were not initially damaged by the tree.  This is all from moisture coming into the house and from what is coming up from underneath the house.

I also went around the house tonight to look at the foundation and there are multiple places where the block is now cracked all around the foundation.  I have no idea what the extent of the damage is to the block underneath the house or closer to the point of impact.  The preliminary scope of work didn't include anything at all about the foundation.

At this point, even if MetLife does manage to come up with a scope of work and my house gets put back together again I don't know how I'm ever going to feel safe moving my kids back in knowing that there's mold growing up through the walls because of how long the house has been exposed to this moisture and heat.
