Rough news for y'all in the foul weather zone ... stick to your guns Fronty ...don't think $7500 is gonna cover it with a "reputable" repair crew. At least everyone was safe.
Enjoying a fantastic day leveling the fill dirt for my 30x30 shop concrete floor. Got 2/3 of it level and now have a huge pile of fill in the middle left over to spread in the yard to improve the soil so I can get some grass to grow by my pine trees. Lot of high iron content dirt up there ... like an old iron ore tailings spot. The little rocks stick in the grooves of your tires and when they shake loose on the road ... they rust. Odd stuff.
Y'all be safe ... hug your family ... call your folks ...enjoy your friends...think of your military ... and above all else, thank God for giving you the opportunity !!
Cheers,
PISTOL

wow, Fronty, good sized tree. for about 200 bucks or less (and covered by home insurance) you may opt to call a home inspector, please don't assume any insurance company is looking out for you. they are paid to minimize loss to the company, not represent you. seen too many homes damaged as a building inspector and fire fighter to think otherwise.....
Scotty, geesh that is just a sleepless night for ya! reason for the old goodbye of "Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise"....hope all travels are safe ones...
chaikwa, as with anything else, we do our own work here; there is no one to ask. 10 years ago you may have put cheap furring strips down or for barn use, not so today. you want to minimize the gap so that wind, vermin and condensation do not cause trouble or premature failure.
we lay titainium for the barrier bond and sure footing needed for a 6/12 pitch with ropes and harness. can't wait for the self moving 4x4 coming in tuesday.
while not a bit bad like OK or AL, wind and heavy rain woke us up at 2AM to retrieve some 19 foot steel panels. 2x4s were not enough, we put 12 foot 6x6s over them. fierce winds today.
got an antique saddle stitcher for some leather repair work on coats, work boots. planted seeds in dirt, third time's a charm I guess.
Stan, call Texas Ag and Markets about wild boar. then go fishing, no one will be around to stop you......

Good morning. Boy, do I feel for you guys that are experiencing all that horrible weather! Almost makes me feel guilty for ribbing y'all about me living in Paradise. Hope everybody comes out of this OK.
Scotty, anything floating yet? At least you will not experience a tsunami.

You can feel the tension with folks around here now. Theres no place for the water to go with the ground either still frozen or saturated. Its rising more after the snow and when the heat hits here in a few days...

Wow, they report 16 people dead from the storms today - - OUCH. What horrible weather. Like Stan, I will shut up - - not fair. Wish I could send you some of ours right now.
Busy day today with lots done - - heading for Boca Grande tomorrow and look at some more property - - wow, the prices are amazing. Only problem down there is getting insurance on it. That hurts. Neat place and the fishing is outstanding. These places were going for just shy of 1 million two years ago. They are begging for buyers now. Pretty complex with boat dockage and the works. Hmmmm?????
OK, better go keep the blonde company. Stay safe, gang - - eyes open, shelter close by.
