We are still waiting on a plan to repair the bus’s side window as soon as possible. We had some cardboard and garbage bags doing their best, but I can now confidently confirm that our bandaid did not hold up on the highway 😅
The poor bus. It’s pretty sad. It looks like it was bleeding, but it wasn’t, I promise. It’s pride hurts more than anything.
Cher and I stopped by to say hi to Brady, and he texted the local auto body shop a picture of this sad setup. They are aware of us already, and have been working to get us quotes and such, and helping us repair our vehicles and all their glass. While we were at Zak’s, the woman who works the desk at the auto shop responded that we should really bring the van over to them so they could help us in the meantime while we wait for actual replacement. Which was very nice of her. So I drove the bus, and Cher drove the minivan, to the auto body place. We left the bus there, and took the van home. When I went in to hand over the keys, they confirmed that they would drive it back to Brady’s work when it was all said and done. And it was very shortly thereafter that it was finished!
Temporarily, anyway. But we’ll take it!! Definitely beats a garbage bag and a hole in the side of your vehicle. I had never heard of crash wrap until today and I am SO grateful it exists!
It’s an unfortunately busy time where we’re not sure it’ll all be fixed up in time for Christmas, but it was made clear today that they are really in our corner over there, and will do all they can for us. Praise God for good insurance that is taking a TON of money off the top for us!! And for good weather that the kids can walk to school in 💜
