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...

Can't really comment on STX, but on STT it is pretty much the same amount of time as before the storms as long as you have all of your ducks in a row.

My inlaws have a Force 10 home. They lost doors and windows, had some roof damage, but did pretty well. In the recent back to back storms, flying de...

Oh, I see! I had a 40 foot container go from Nicaragua to STJ recently for $3,900 with Crowley.

That quote seems high? Did you get a quote from Crowley by any chance?

Probably even less right now! But seriously, on STJ, I guess because it's so small, there are times when they just stand there and pull people over a...

But you need a VI driver's license after 90 days. Had a few friends renew their licenses recently on St. John and they were both told that smilin...

This is always a really tough question for anyone to answer. We don't know how you live now, what you consider a necessity. People who seem to adapt...

I switched to ATT post storms, and haven't received any credits for poor service. And the customer service has been terrible. I have better luck wit...

I won't even pretend like I have any idea about how any of this works, so I will just ask a question..... Viya and Broadband VI are on the same 'netwo...

You'll probably want to visit a school or few as well. Maybe check out a clinic or a doctors office. Your little one will need a health card of sort...

Tropical barge that was due to arrive yesterday to STT is delayed until Friday. I have a rack on that boat... so that is delay #1 on this shipment so...

A lot of people on STJ are hooking up to Hughesnet. How about on STT? It's pricey, but the people I know who have it are happy with the service. A...

If this experience has reinforced anything for me, it's that everyone has a different lens. Shortly after the storms there were several posts on foru...

I have the Viya wifi/hotspot thing and it has a data limit but I'm not sure what the limit is (my husband did the pick up of it and didn't focus on th...

Yes, I have had that situation and the answer is positively, if you did not check the box on your return that said "apply to future return" (or someth...
