Where were you staying Kirstielou

[MaggieAllan]

What did it sound like?

[KirstieLou]

We were staying on Manors North, Westridge

It wasn't really noisy like I expected. Just really really windy

Hi guys, thought i would post one of my hurricane Jeanne photos. This is the pool screen next door on the Sunday afternoon once the worst of the storm had passed.

I sent it to our villa owner, hoping it would make her feel a bit better about her little bits of damage, [msnwink]

[Lynne S]

Kind of makes me glad our villa didn't have a pool screen on during the storms.
We are only due to close in November, finger's and toe's crossed everyone please.[msnwink]

Glad Big Mack and family, also Kirstielou and family came through ok and had a good holiday.[msnsmile2]

[Sharon G]

Thanks for the pictures!! It makes you realise how lucky we've been surviving not one but FOUR hurricanes within such a short period of time!!!...with little or no damage to complain about!![msnsmile]

Sharon

[CarolAnn]

Gulp![msnoo]
Thanks for pictures guys...I think??[msnscared]

[KirstieLou]

My goodness Mack! That really took a hit didn't it![:O]

[WR1]

If you take away the pool and palm tree it looks just like scotland:D on a bad day. Last week some of the roof here at asda got blow away.

[Big Mack]

Yeah, almost like Scotland, just without the neds on the corner and the shopping trolley in the lake!!! [laugh]

We looked at a screen to go over our hot tub that can take 120 mile an hour winds......and also not let no see ums in.....after seeing that picture it now looks worth having........:(

We had our two masters flooded, after we sorted the windows, it started coming up from the floor.

Wowww......we were so lucky each time........not a drop of water got into our place......are you replacing the carpets or did you save them........?

Did you see my post on water leaks.....you could send those pictures to the guys in the paper......I think this water leaking is being looked into.....so I would look into seeing who you need to talk to about it........

[LiesaAnna]

ooooohhhhhhhhhhhh my word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its not fair Alan after all your kindness to others, still could have been worse, at least its repairable/replaceable, Thank God you werent hurt.................[angel]

[CarolAnn]

All the pictures are just so heart wrenching:( I hope all comes good for those owners. Thank-you for sharing them.

[agod]

This also happened in Frances, we called out the builder, who blamed it all on the hurricane, and we called in a carpet company who put giant fans in to dry it out, and chemicals to stop the mold, the base boards around the house had also come away from the walls, but the mystery is why it came up through the inner closet floor, 20 foot away from the walls, my guess is its the water table, not being able to hold all the water from the 3 hurricanes on it, and finding its way through the floor, we spent about $500 on the drying of the carpets, of course the stupid thing is its only 14 foot square, so would have only cost a couple of hundred, to replace.
The next time it happened while we where there last week in Jeanne, this time the builder did send round the carpet people and also a Sky Tech team that is writing a report on whats going on. we have yet to see that.
We managed to get everything together for the next guests that went in on the 9th.

[Magical Dreams]

chrizzy are you saying that the builders could be responsible for this??

It does seem strange that water was coming in from the floor!!

[Cruella DeVilla]

Oh Alan,
So sorry to see the flood/water damage to your lovely place.:(Know what it is like first hand after our flood earlier this year at home.

Your pictures Alan,brought home the real drama of that awful weather:( And to think the members of family using our place whinged when they stayed in ours during Jeanne (they lost power for about 10 hours, most of it over night!!) and that is all they had to deal with!!!
Best wishes Alan for the recovery project on your lovely home:)

[agod]

Thank you all for your thoughts, the Builder, KB have yet to come up with the report on what happened, but the good news is we have guests in again, and they are non the wiser.

I think the Statewide report will be interesting...info is still being taken from owners from both small local custom home builders...and the bigger countrywide builders.......

I don't think this is just a KB problem....I know of one other large company who had the same trouble....I think they were named in the newspaper report....I can't remember who they were off the top of my head.....
