The storm shutters
Our neighbor’s: the shutters are being tested.
The hurricane shutters is a must down here: everyone has it. When Hurricane Ian terrorized the east coast in 2022 (Sept 23 to Oct 2) – reportedly, it was the deadliest one to Florida since 1935 – we weren’t here but hired someone for $350 to put up/take down the shutters. Luckily, all are good. We store the shutters in the garage.
One of our neighbors got their shutters installed today. The team has 18 workers. When all are good, they took the shutters down and leave them in the garage. The small yellow labels are important: they’re the location indictors.
Our shutters were left on the driveway after the garage floor was being sealed with epoxy. I would have to pay for someone to move inside – in a way, Ian saved me a few bucks – the man who put up/remove during Ian didn’t charge extra for it.
