That means they (owners) have to hire licensed workmen to do the fixing, incl. building permits and have inspections done by the building department. etc. Also, they cannot retrieve what has fallen into the lake, only add boulders and stones. There is no flood insurance and the city of Leamington nor ERCA (Essex Region Conservation Authority) are building a seawall. It is up to each individual.Marlene Klopferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045198557084106389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167416104006761394.post-51365859570512649262018-04-24T19:33:48.584-04:002018-04-24T19:33:48.584-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Marlene Klopferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045198557084106389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167416104006761394.post-27685307914333192352018-04-21T11:27:49.989-04:002018-04-21T11:27:49.989-04:00Quite the mess Mother Nature left.

I noticed your question to George about their new phone plan. We got the plan last fall before we left. Two phones and 19 GB shared between us. By stacking the GB plans, we got 19 GB for less than buying 15 GB plan.

Our property is a little less than 500 ft. from the lake. Some property owners have built retaining walls and those had little to no damage as well as the ones that have raised their houses.
