Re: Ian
Talk about being fortunate. The entire building has passed structural inspection so things are progressing well as for the rebuilding. All condos on the first floor (ours being one of them) where wiped out meaning the ocean broke through the rear ocean facing wall and punched out through the front facing wall. Total loss of everything including walls, ceilings, windows, floor coverings, appliances, showers, toilets and anything else you can think of right down to the electrical receptacles.
The bad news, our personal insurance did not cover hurricanes. Talk about oversight!!
The good news, the condo association's insurance combined with FEMA will cover everything except internal belongings (furniture, TV, personal items) however our personal insurance will cover almost everything.
The great news. The condo is 40 years old and was in need of quite a bit of TLC at this point however it will be built back to new with new walls, doors, electrical and floor coverings. The windows and the 2 massive patio doors were getting corroded with time in the salt air and since they were installed 40 years ago they did not meet todays hurricane standards required now and will be replaced with new hurricane standard units. Estimated time for moving back in is 1 year. Good thing this is not our home but rather a vacation resort for the family.
Unfortunately the palm trees look like telephone poles and the overall beauty will take some time to heal back to its glory days.

Just put the ragtop away for the winter and and the snow tires on our cars. Fired up and checked out the snowblower as we are supposed to get 5-10cm tonight.
