We were supposed to fly in for our 1st visit Monday, but Dean is intervening. Heading to Vegas instead. If a hurricane hits there, we know Gore is right!

I thank you for your suggestion to place it between the offices and tennis court, but :
a) Could you please first explain to me how we would get a 40′ container unloaded into a space only about 15′ wide ? (couldn’t get the hammarlift truck in there if we tried)
b) how we would be able to wire the generator into the a/c chillers from such a distance ?
c) oh, and last but not least, would you like to explain to the Cayman Islands fire service why we blocked their legally required fire lane with a 40′ container ?

Sorry to be sarcastic, but the management of the resort did give this a lot of thought before taking this action, so off the cuff remarks like these must surely be designed to provoke a response ?

Anyway, one reason for putting up the initial photo was so that everyone can see the difference once we have finished masking the look of the generator…. in progress right now.

It should have been placed in the area between the tennis court and the offices…..NOT in the parking lot so that potential guests and owners can see it!! Insane.

1 : The generator and wiring will benefit out timeshare owners so clearly will have to be billed out in terms of the maintenance fee, although for the time being the developer is paying the upfront cost.

2 : Yes, it will make noise, all generators do, but it is for emergency use only.

3 : re advertising timeshare… very droll :)
