NEW ORLEANS — We met Harold Delay in LaPlace right after Ida. His home had major damage and like most people’s homes, it’s still not fully repaired. The rain from Nicholas caused more leaks in his bedroom and bathroom.
A month later his house is still partially gutted and he's doing most of his repairs on his own. Delay said he's a jack of few trades so he's kept himself busy.
"I had a few minor things left but pretty much everything else I lost," Delay said
Like other Louisianians, Delay has stayed optimistic through it all. One room in his home remains functional so he's moved his bed and TV in it so he can watch the Saints.
"Every day I find myself cleaning up and doing something," Delay said.
The LaPlace resident is still waiting on an insurance settlement.
