Galveston's Home Depot to ReOpen
Galveston County Daily News reports that the Home depot that collapsed will be reopened, but there is no promise of when we can expect this to hapen.Although The Home Depot has begun rebuilding its island store, the retailer said it still doesn’t know what caused the roof and several 30-ton wall panels to tumble during a severe thunderstorm late last month.
But if the home improvement giant uncovers the cause of the bizarre collapse at its store in the 6500 block of Interstate 45, will it tell the community?
“It’s too early to say,” said spokesman Jonathan Guerin.
Whether a private company such as The Home Depot is required to divulge its findings to the city also is unclear. Some city officials said they would have to review codes before answering.
Nearly two weeks after the roof failed, The Home Depot said it has learned little about the cause.
Its disturbing though that apparently no one knows why the store collapsed. If no one knows whey, we can't be assured its not going to happen again, maybe while there are customers throughout the store.

I purchased a roof from Home Depot at Home Services. Home Depot has now installed three roofs in 11 months and did over $1,000.00 in damage to my house. My ceiling was cracked on 3-29-06, today is 9-8-06 and it still is not fixed. I was told if the installers make any mistakes with my roof that GAF (the roofing manufacturer) would not approve the roof. When GAF came out to inspect the roof they approved it. I had my own professional roofer inspect it to find no roofing material between the shingles and wood deck. Why did they approve my roof? My last letter to the Branch Manager was sent on 8-1-06 and today is 9-8-06 and still have not got a reply. I was told that a Project Manager would take care of my roofing project and I would not have to do a thing. My Project Manager told me on two different dates that he had 120 projects and did not have time for me. I was to have a pre installation meeting with my Project Manager before the first roof was installed, I did not meet my Project Manager until after my second roof was installed.
