Stefanie Gibson has gotten use to waiting.

"It's frustrating to have to wait this long for your repairs, almost a year later and we're still -- it's still not done," Gibson said.

After the storm last June, Gibson waited until October for new windows.

"Two of our, my boys, bedrooms had broken widows, and it was chilly for them, so they slept on the couches upstairs," Gibson said.

When it came time to order new siding, she said her insurance company would only pay for two sides of her house, and she would have to front the rest of the money. Gibson was told the insurance company would pay her back.

"When you really don't have it, you know, you work all the time, just kind of day by day, trying to get your bills paid. And your insurance company isn't working with you, so it's frustrating not to have it done," Gibson said.
