The end of last week and the beginning of this week, tropical storm Debbie had made her way through Tampa. And with her she brought a lot of havoc. People living along the coast lines in Clearwater, St. Petersburg and South Tampa had major flooding. There was a lot of damage due to the high wind and rain. Luckily, we live in the no flood zone so we were safe from flooding. We experienced a non stop down pour of rain for almost 5 days straight and a lot of wind. We had a bit of damage on our current house because of the high winds. We think our shingles either blow away or have moved because we started to get a leak inside our home. We had to climb into the attic to stop the leak.

 Due to the storm, not much work could be done on our home in construction. After the storm passed, the roofers were able to finally install the shingles on our new roof.

For the last week or so, most work has been done on the inside of our home. Electrical, duct work, speaker wiring, and alarm system wiring has been completed. We will be having a walk  through inspection this week to confirm that we approve the location of the pot lights, light switches, plugs, ducts, return ducts, speakers, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and alarm system keypads. It’s all a little overwhelming as we don’t want to miss anything or make the wrong decision on where to have these installed.

Today we noticed that our shingles were delivered to our home and will most likely be installed tomorrow. You can see them sitting packaged on the roof.
