Well now. The VIC was rebuilt in 2006. Now, "hot air had been hitting cold duct work, creating moisture, which in turn dissolved dry wall and encouraged the mold."
Ceilings over the bathrooms collapsed. People could have been hurt, or killed.
It's going to cost us $100,000 to fix? I don't reckon. The City needs to tell the architect/engineer to notify their professional liability insurance carrier. Contractors generally do what the architect says to do -- that's why they're called contractors and not architects.
Who was the architect? Who picked 'em and why?
Isn't this architectural negligence, when "hot air [is] hitting cold duct work, creating moisture, which in turn dissolved dry wall and encouraged the mold?"
We don't trust the City of St. Augustine to fix a building without ceilings collapsing on the bathrooms.
Think of Government House, a true treasure. We don't want the City of St. Augustine to muck up this federally-reconstructed building with more mismanagement.
We need a St. Augustine National Historical Park, Seashore and Scenic Coastal Parkway.
We don't need to place our history ihn the hands of those City burghers who perpetrate three screwups every month.
Whether dumping solid waste in our Old City Reservoir or semi-treated sewage effluent in our saltwater marsh, or building a skate park that did not include a sound barrier berm, or discriminating against African-Americans with environmental racism and Apartheid employment policies, the City of St. Augustine is badly managed and badly needs reforming.
What do you reckon?
