We just returned from St. Maarten. We arrived the day before Irma hit the island. We took everything inside and boarded the house up with our shutters. We all made it out ok. The house does have some damages but we stayed to organize the rebuild. We already ordered new windows and sliders that blew out and have a contractor lined up to fix our roof.
We are just waiting for GEBE to connect the water and power as we are still waiting. we are replacing all our exterior lights and the outdoor kitchen. The bedrooms, kitchen, all our art and furniture, lower unit and pool got spared. We are currently in Vermont to organize ourselves and get back there to get to work. We aim to have the house back in full operation by Christmas. I will repost as we start the rebuilding process. For those that know Gloria, she is fine but lost her entire home, we moved her and her husband into the lower apartment till they can get their life back in order. If anyone want to help her please contact me directly.
