Jersey

The image is from Mantoloking, Jersey. In my opinion that is a gorgeous house and it's truly a shame to see it in this shape from the storm. I wonder how they will deal with it, tear it down or attempt to jack it back into place. I would venture it gets torn down.

Maybe it's still mostly together, just undermined. Maye it could be carefully straightened.

Depends, I guess.

The roof looks new, the paint is fresh, that indicated to me that its been kept up. It's probably going to come down to logistics and cost. Is it cheaper to jack it back into place, rebuild the foundation, repair cracked walls, etc, or tear it down and rebuild a new house.
