Setbacks...

Post by Daniel Meyer »

Storm rolled through Clarksville St. Patricks Day...we took serious damage at both our properties, including a dozen massive windows AND the roof in our historic building and...you guessed it...our brand new roof on the Old Vic.

Wow - I am so sorry to read this. That looks devastating.

All I can offer is my best wishes, all things considered.

Whoa. That is absolutely intense. I'm so sorry!!! Maybe a stupid question, but "freak storm damage" would be included in your home insurance coverage, right?!

Im sorry to hear of your mess. You must be tired, stressed and worried of the cost and work ahead. I hope it goes well in coming months of restoration. I have never seen clouds quite like that, it almost looks like a space ship.

The Old Vic's roof should be covered.

There is no hazard insurance on the Cupola Building.

Gezzzz Daniel, I realy don't know what to say other than sorry to see it happen. It is never a good thing. I certainly hope you can recover with minimal effort, I know the money will be an issue for a long time to come.
With out making light of your situation, I had to chuckle at your resilience and attitude when you made the comment about dreaming of water falls, and only having to have a pee. Also, on Cupula arts building, every thing seems to have failed exept your shingle work on the Cupula. Once again I am truly sorry to this this happen to you (and I'm sure a lot of folks) down there.
