Charley's victims confront red tape of fixing hurricane's damage BY SEAN MUSSENDEN, JACK SNYDER AND JOE NEWMAN, Bradenton Herald, FL
A booming housing market has left building materials in short supply and few roofers, carpenters and electricians to take on emergency jobs. It could take a year, at least, to rebuild Central Florida, construction experts and building officials warn.
Until their time comes, most homeowners are making do with the barest of temporary repairs.
In Ormond Beach, Charley peeled off Wanda Johnson's 5-year-old roof like the lid of a tin can, soaking her ceiling tiles and dripping rain onto the carpet below. A pair of strangers - 'angels' she called them - that her husband met at the local hardware store applied a simple tarp to keep out the elements.
'It may be months before we can get it fixed,' she said. 'The lady at the roofing company told my husband there were about 2,000 people ahead of us.'------------------------------------------- posted 6:48 AM :: reference link ::
