You will feel one every couple months. They have done no damage to homes down here but they do clean the dust off your ceiling fans for you.

How can you be sure the blasting is not causing any hidden damage? Sorry, but I'm glad we aren't close enough for our home to shake.

The blasts were discussed in December

It was the inmates at Coleman, pounding their forks in unison...because dinner was late.

Did the broker disclose this to you before you made the purchase?

Are they supposed to inform us or are we supposed to research the place we're considering moving to?

The day we looked at the home we're now living in, there were the distinct sounds of gun fire which reminded me of the rod and gun club near my previous home. I asked the sales robot what that might be, his response was "well, we are in central Florida" We had no idea there were people having target practice on their own private property and have every right to do so. We could have selected another house to buy in a more established residential area.

We were however very shocked to feel the very first blast from the quarry. We had no idea that is was there and that they performed semi-frequent blasting, but we didn't do any research into such things. So, buyer beware. We've felt it 5 or 6 times in our first year down south. Time will tell about possible damage to the homes down here.

Serial blasting would seem to rattle the limestone substrata beneath the houses. Make sure you have sinkhole coverage and maybe go sleep wearing a scuba outfit just in case

How can you tell if humidity has caused mold in your walls, how can you tell if you have subterranean termites eating your studs, how can you tell if there are toxins in your water, how can you tell if there are traces of feces in your food, how can you tell if cancer cells are in your pancreas, how do you know if you're going to be alive tomorrow??? If you are going to worry about everything that can possibly happen to you get everything tested or just forget about it, relax, and enjoy the rest of your life. My God people down here worry and complain way too much about stuff you really can't control and never will. How many productive years do you have left in life???

Seriously??? Do you feel better after your rant?

I CAN control the location where I live. Glad I'm not close enough to the blasting that I feel the house shake.

So far sinkholes have been in the rest of TV, and have not visited the new area yet

Seems as if you are giving a shot to those who live down there, just sayin......
