Understood. 90% was gross structure, all these ancient eyes can see without magnification.

Back to the groundskeeping with me. Growth spurt aided by Gordon’s rains yielded a situation where I kept up with the grass, but the weedeating got clean away from me. Chop-chop all yesterday, rake today, now I get to ride the tractor, sweeping.
And tan.

I know a few people who had homes there. Nice homes. On stilts. Less than 20yr old homes. Totally destroyed them.
I was ‘assured’ on another thread that those homes were all ‘old shacks’ and ‘newer homes to code’ would have survived (and thus been safe for inhabitants to remain during storm). Not unless inhabitants had snorkel gear and armor for withstanding surfborn debris. And were ‘kewl’ with no power or water or sewage for the year + it took to get those all back down there. But hey, gotta protect those granite countertops or something.
(In reference to the Bad Mother(tm) that’s staying on Carolina Beach with her 3 little kids. Because ‘something’ that’s not already insured is more important than the kids safety and needs ‘pertekting’ with the assistance of the 4,6 and 8yr old girls)
