Hi y'all,

I purchased my house in TV last April but haven't been able to move until ... hopefully in a Month. I had water damage and my insurance finally approved the mold remediator's estimate after 4 1/2 months. The mold remediators started yesterday.

I'm flying down tomorrow to check things out and determine what floors and cabinets to get. They were all ruined due to water damage.

I was thinking of renting a golf cart while here. Many of the rental places that I found with google search seem to be closed. Does anyone know where I could rent a golf cart, inexpensively, for maybe 5-6 days. I have seen terms of golf carts and golf cars. Are golf cars able to go to say Fruitland or can they only be on streets that only go 30mph?

Thanks so much for helping out this newbie!!! I can't wait till I can start helping newbies.
Pat

I am assuming you bought a fixer upper that had mold? Grandma and Grandpa Golf carts have been mentioned as a good place to rent one. Golf carts can't go to Fruitland Park. Welcome home.

I'm confused. If this damage was pre-existing at the time of purchase, how could it be covered by insurance? Not to be nosy, but if the damage occurred after purchase was it plumbing? or drainage?

The OP never said it was a fixer upper, nor did she say it was mold...

Have tried repeatedly to get hold of Don, left messages twice on phone & one on e mail . No reply

Quote from OP:
"I purchased my house in TV last April but haven't been able to move until ... hopefully in a Month. I had water damage and my insurance finally approved the mold remediator's estimate after 4 1/2 months. The mold remediators started yesterday"

And the OP never stated it was a "fixer-upper". I thought the concept that it was covered by insurance implied the damage occurred after purchase, and was wondering as to the cause

I'm no Bob Vila, but if the home needs water and mold remediation, not to mention new flooring and cabinets, I would say its the poster child for a "fixer upper".

Again, only IF those conditions were present at the time of purchase. I had water damage from a broken pipe in my NY home 15 years AFTER I bought it---does that mean I bought a "fixer-upper"?

And if those conditions were present at time of purchase, I'd like to know how insurance covers it---I'd like to learn those negotiation skills when dealing with insurance.

You can't be serious!

Scenario #1. A person buys a Grandview on an oversized golf front lot with a water view for close to $1 million in April. They happen to be snowbirds and neglected to contract with a home watch service. In May, wind from a thunderstorm damages the roof, and subsequent deluges flood the kitchen ceiling, water log the cabinets and short out the AC, resulting a mold issue. According to your definition, they bought a "fixer-upper"? Seriously?

Scenario #2. A person, same snowbird, buys a pre-owned home in pristine condition, but in his absence a pipe breaks and causes the same water/mold issues. He also bought a "fixer-upper"?

Scenario #3 A person finds a home, perhaps one where the owners have passed and left it to the children. Through lack of maintenance the same issues develop, but the heirs decide they would rather sell it "as is" at a deep discount rather than fix it themselves. Then, I would agree he bought a "fixer-upper". But even that doesn't answer the insurance coverage issue.

I was just trying to clarify that it wasn't a new home he bought. sigh. Trying to always put a good face on this town so my old friends and relatives will want to move here. Please pardon the word, "old".


Don Cunningham and his lovely wife would be my choice too to rent a cart from. I didn't realize they rented carts. They are amazingly talented. She is a nationally recognized journalist now living here and has switched careers. Like them both to pieces. Good folks to the core.

Scenario #4 You take things way too serious and love to argue. Try and relax.
