When Hurricane Ian rolled over Bluefields in 2022 it left damage throughout the small city, including to our house in the Pointeen neighborhood. The winds pushed several trees flat but worse than the trees that fell into the yard were the tree-sized limbs from a tall breadfruit tree that landed smack on top of the roof.
There aren't a lot of roofs anywhere that can withstand that kind of hit and our house doesn't have one of them. It took hard work to get the mess cleaned up and hauled off.

In late 2023 the situation inside the house had deteriorated to the point that the couple who had been 'caretaking,' were told they had to find a more hospitable environment.
...and then our staff moved in to remove what was left of the roof.
Even in its damaged and deteriorated condition, almost all of the material coming off the roof is being stacked and saved. Most of it will be used to make forms for pouring concrete when the second iteration of the house begins.
I commend our excellent staff!
