Dry weather to be here a while for roof repairs

[boca]

It looks like well have good weather at least for the next 7 days so people can repair theirs roofs here in S FL.

[x-y-no]

Yeah, that's a blessing.

My parents got a roofer quick because they had actually had him come out and do an estimate after Katrina. So the basic work of removing the old stuff and putting down tarpaper and sealing it are done. But apparently, there are no shingles to be had in Dade County right now, so they're having to wait to get the job completed.

I happend to leave work early today and come home to find FEMA getting ready to put a blue tarp on my roof. I am one of the only few homes in my area without any damage. That would really weird if I left at my normal time and come home to find my rood blue tarped! :eek:

I hope your roof is fixed quickly, fortunately, we are entering the dry season. By the way, I live at 118 SW 26 Terr and I got power back on Sunday, my poor cousins live at 123 SW 27 ST and they got it back today. Curiously when Katrina, they got power back 2 days before me!

How do you plan on handling the cost of the fence repair, if you don't mind me asking? Would you get reimbursed by FEMA or Insurance, or it's not that expensive and you'll pay for it out of pocket. My fence blew down as well, but I propped it back up. The studs are broke, so I have to replace those before the next windy day comes along.

cost of repair will be handled by me. Insurance doesnt cover it. I have two handymen lined up and I am going to try and get them to replace poles where required and just use the exisitng panels that seem in good shape. Fence companies will want to rip it out, do a whole new fence and wait for a permit. PM me if youw ant to discuss firther.

I hope you guys don't end up like we did after Katrina.
NO rain for six weeks, and the only rain in 10 weeks was less
than 1 inch.

I know the dry helps get repairs done, but we turned into a freakin' dust
bowl. Record setting October 0.00 inches of rain for the month. ouch!
The dust bowl has made it really hard on vegetation to recover.

I hope you guys get your repairs done, that is important.

I also hope that you guys have a good neighbor, because mine, state
farm, finally called this week and said they might be out in three more,
not sure yet.

ARRGH!

Dhweather I heard on Talk radio down here in S FL that people in Miss and LA have something called Katrina cough were the syptoms are respiratory caused by mold and bacteria in the water from the water just laying there getting contaminated.Is this true.

my repair efforts our underway. here is the scopp, call a fence company and they tear the whole thing out and put up a new one at substanital cost meaning th9ousands of dollars, i have about 140 ft of fence down. Here is the alternative, the panels are usually fine but the posts are shot. Get a handyman and have him put up new posts and concrete into the ground and re-use the panels. No permitting that way. Thats what i am doing, me and handyman digging 12 new post holes today, let concrete set and screw panels to new poles later this week. No permits and this is costing me around 500 dollars, I ams eeing alot of fences hanging by the street in south florida because people thought they had to get rid of it..WRONG. Plus no permitting process this way which will take months.
