We left the mini manse once again today.
Errands were our main concern.
Hubby has been repairing all the minor damages that Irma toyed with around our home; don't worry we took PICS for the insurance, but none of what occurred would meet our deductible of two thousand dollars anyway.
We only filed due to FEMA telling us we had to to be reimbursed for the hotel expenses, a denial from our insurance stills makes us eligible for the hotel reimbursement. And I even told our home insurance company exactly what I just said here.
Hubby has been working only on this project since the removal of all shutters just yesterday, all due to waiting to see where Maria was going to do; you know that other gal cane out in the Atlantic decimating islands, property and lives.
The soffits that blew off were all there, so reinstalling them was not too difficult for Hubby.
For the fence gates Hubby needed a few supplies to redo them, a new latch for the the eastern front side one and a new four by four pressure treated for the western front side one; the winds snapped the previous one right off, yep Irma was mighty.
Hubby also had realized that the PVC pipes and five color coded wires to the boat lift needed to be redone for the eventual turning of it; oh I forgot to tell you before Irma it was not ready after all!
The Miss "T" 2, our Bennington pontoon boat, ended up being moored in the canal with lines from our dock and two anchors bow and aft! And she made it through it just fine.
She is back up on the lift now still not turned.
The lift had been dismantled just prior to Irma thinking it could be done, but the prep for the storm took priority, and that is why it had not been completed.
And now Hubby has to figure out some things to do it right, so in the meantime the lift was put back as it was.
While at Home Depot Hubby got the five different colors of wires 30' long each cut, and I was enlisted to choose the new latch for the eastern side fence front gate. Black, but more sturdy, thicker, to match the hinges and looks great on the white painted cedar cottage style fence.
Prior to Home Depot we ate a healthy lunch at Panera's. Hubby had a steak and white cheddar panini with French onion soup and I had a Greek salad with French onion soup too! We both had iced water, mine with lemons. And those were the half choices on their menu, and half of mine came home!
After Home Depot we went over to Walmart and picked up oil, more slacks for me and Hubby a pair of canvas deck shoes, and coffee, eggs, Greek yogurt, and even some prepared foods for dinner with two fruit pies from their bakery, blueberry and cherry.
Then we came home and within the hour it was teaming down rain!
But this time we were already inside, so LUCKY AGAIN!
On that note please all have a very happy good night and share all those blessings and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
