    Lew, hard to imagine what you & others had to endure & then overcome. But last week after my wife & I saw the 2024 hurricanesโ€™ remaining affects in Passa Grille in St. Peteโ€™s Beach we confirmed our understanding. The old salts in New England have a saying they rely on; โ€œHide from the wind, run from the waterโ€. No doubt in my mind as weโ€™ve been affected by storm induced floods.
    Very glad to hear youโ€™re able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Stay, safe.

    Lew! After all this effort you'll do the last 5 weeks on roller skates! We're still sending the good vibes. When it's done an audio tour with pix is in order!

    Mike & Doris, thank you and others for your best wishes. Pretty crappy spending the night through this windy storm waking up to puddles of water in most of the rooms and no power. Having lived through it (I'm 80) was an experience. Others were (and some still) worse off, but this was more than enough for us.

    I designed my home well over 50 years ago. It stood up well to the hurricane force wind with very little damage. Most was to the trees outside and of course the floors from flooding. Not salt water, but too much rain and wind. It was a "100 year" freak storm.

    The house is now clean and almoat ready for new flooring. Most of the house items are now in the garage, porch, and our three spare bedrooms which are 8 inches above the rest of the house and were not flooded.

    I hope to be finally up and running by my 81st birthday (a nice present) in five weeks.

    Good Morning Lew,
    If I were a fairy, I would fulfil 3 wishes for you.
    Such a storm is incomprehensible to me, as we only know small storms.
    But they are already devastating enough. .
    We, my wife and I, send you a big box of courage, patience and hope.
    Keep your head up, it will be fine.
    We are proud to read your interim reports despite all the misery.
    Our thoughts are with you,
    Michel-C and Doris M.
    if you don't ask, you won't get an answer!

    [Post Milton, almost 4 months]

    I like to "stop by" the MB site to check on what you all are doing. My home is still a wreck, with most of the flooring torn up (bare concrete now). Hopefully this will be rectified in the next few weeks. All of my models and work shop gear is packed up.

    Unfortunately, I have a double whammy to deal with. Can't build or sail any model boats because of my home, plus the dock we use at the park was severely damaged. Unbelievably great weather and no rc boating! I had to set aside being the SSMBC meet coordinator.

    So keep those great posts going... it helps me look forward to getting back into the hobby.

    As Lew is well aware it is not necessarily the height of the water that really counts, within reason of course. Just a few inches of water can ruin the flooring and cause damage to the walls and any thing sitting on the floor making it necessary to remove the water damaged areas of the walls along with the insulation to prevent mold.

    Ronald,
    How about two photos, garage door and one by the front door. That's the real way of marking a waterline! Nature made. Lew
