The Historic District

doesn't the truckers insurance cover the damage?If the trucker was overdriving his visibility it was obviously his fault. The county is going after the truckers insurance, as the building itself was uninsured in the county possession... but the cost may cover demolition. In my opinion though, they ...

Or...another kind of historic loss. Here in Southern Florida, unlike the rest of a lot of the country, it is hard to find properties that were in existence before 1900.

Ammonia, in an open container in or close to spot is also another critter deterrent. Loud music, bright lights. The music idea could be annoying, I used a droplight to get rid of a family of racoons.
