Of note, my kids are now enthralled with gunships. We're close enough to the range that we can see and hear them practicing. One of the really little ones has even indicated that he'd rather fly the airplane with cannons than the fast and loud ones from our last base. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until the winter when some of the leaves are gone and the air is cold and more dense...the sound really travels. I was at a soccer camp last night east of the high school and had a great sunset view of some CVs with the gunships wailing in the background...its like music! PM if you need anything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty - Trident Home Loans Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Thanks wave for these specific recommendations. I followed your recommendations to the letter and got a $2k/yr discount on homeowners insurance.Check out Rebuild Northwest Florida too. FEMA will pay for 75% of hurricane safety upgrades to your house which will reduce your insurance further and better protect your family/property. Also great for increasing your resale value. http://www.rebuildnwf.org/MartySent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Panama City) FYSA (sorry if I am telling you things you already know), I inquired last year and they had already used all their FY16 grant funds. They got their FY17 funds a few months ago and sent me a notice, I applied immediately. When I called they told me they typically have enough funds to complete 30-40 projects in my area, they were hoping for more this year. They also have two separate programs. One to harden older homes built before 2002 and another (shutter gap), for newer homes that don't have shutters. My house is only 10 years old and was built way above code but I don't have shutters. Depending on your needs and age of your home you may be able to move up the list by pursing only shutter gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossHarris Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 My house was built in 74. It was overbuilt in 74, but I still spend a shitload on the hurricane side of homeowners insurance. So im excited at the prospect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So im excited at the prospect!It's a great program even if you have to wait a little bit to get approved! I've seen guys save a ton especially on older homes. Good luck!
