I just booked tickets to go a visit the villa (first time after IRMA) I will meet with the builder and the architect and go over what we will build. Meanwhile the builder can remove all the debris and save some wood which we can use in interior walls. The work permits for my builder are ready to be picked up. Yea! I have made a decision to make the villa much larger with 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. One of the largest on Virgin Gorda Booked with Jet Blue $175 each way from JFK to STT and then take the ferry Looking forward to having a villa again. Will take about 9 months to rebuild.

Congrats on the progress. Not to be a downer but 9 months is unrealistic. If you are done in 19 months I would be surprised.

Good luck on the villa rebuild Thorsten - glad to see that you got permits for your workers - are they going to be staying somewhere - heard that bvi won't bring in outside workers and give them permits unless they have a place to stay. cheers Brian

You'll be the one with a problem. The workers will leave and you'll be stuck with an unfinished villa. I have spent 8 weeks in the VI adjusting losses since Irma. Sitting at SJU right now for heading down for another week. Again I wish Thorsten good luck but there is no way a 9 month rebuild happens.
