Thanks for the suggestions on the shades! I have sheer curtains now that I pull at night for privacy that still allow air to blow in because they are...

I am going to give curtains a shot. I will probably have to ditch them come summer time. I don't know if I could adapt to an eye mask. I already am...

Funny how some lights can cause so much disruption. I haven't slept for crap since they went up but didn't realize they were really affecting things ...

Ms411, I saw that listing the other day. Since the terms of the lease are not listed, hard to tell if it's short-term, short lease, sublease, or what...

There seems to be more opportunity as the kids get older. 3 is pretty young for a teacher to handle without the parents being there the whole time. ...

There have been people on St. John who have voiced concerns about the lights. The LTRG and a couple of other nonprofits are trying to help in areas l...

I'm pretty sure Scenic is still operating, but not sure how much since they probably don't have much inventory to deal with. I occasionally see a pla...

Are STX and STT getting new street lights now? STJ started getting them a couple of weeks ago and they are WAY over doing it. We easily have 4 times...

I will just echo fdr. Long term housing is really tough on St. John right now. We have lots of displaced people. We did see some of the short term ...

If you happen to be on St. John, there are not many organized activities for children that young. The St. John School of the Arts has a few classes b...

Just a heads up, most of the shipping and logistics companies are really overwhelmed right now. They have been slower to reply, so don't let that tur...

Welcome to the board. That is a super hard question for anyone to answer without a lot more information. If you want to know if the school is solid,...

Lots of people have left, and I suspect more will over the next several months. This is going to be a long-term recovery, and many are finding that di...

I would buy a car there and ship it. You can spend 3k on a car there and even spend another 3k on shipping it would still make sense. I'd also make ...

What Scubadoo said. I've seen plenty of homes that have their roofs, and the structure is fine, but their doors and windows got sucked out. The cont...

I know this might sound weird, but for the ladies, undergarments. It's hard to order them online because the fit is so different across brands and se...

Patience. And the ability to live without the things you think you need. Knowing where to order things online for the things you can't get here. An...

I wholeheartedly urge use to use on island management. You don't necessarily need a big company to do it, but you need someone on island that can tak...

I'd say most new construction goes over budget and over time. How much more depends on a lot of things. The contractor has a hand in it, and so does...

This article just came out.... no surprise, the DOE is behind schedule, Source Article

The kids in the public schools are only going 1/2 days right now, and I would bet that they will be doing the same for a good part of next year. We l...

I've never seen any of the compressed earth blocks here. I just read a tiny bit about them and the one thing that popped is they have a strength of 7...

Schools... how many children do you have? Many 'transplants' opt for private school for their kids. And that can be pretty expensive, $15k or more a...

I totally agree. You shouldn't have to develop relationships in order to get these tasks done in a timely professional manner. I am told the DLCA of...

A lot of what we are seeing here while doing assessments for property damage insurance is that there were a lot of problems with fasteners. They were...
