Sorry to hear that, CurtW, mostly sorry about the house damage.
We caught some tornado damage here back in February, and it took until late July to get all sorted out. The damage wasn't that extensive -- mostly cosmetic ($19k worth of cosmetic) -- but they had trouble getting the windows, and they couldn't do the siding 'til they did the windows, and they couldn't do the gutters 'til they did the siding: loads of fun.
Anyway, I hope it's not too bad, if you're expecting to be sorted out by Thanksgiving, you either aren't in too bad a shape or you have one heckuva good contractor!
