dlewis23 Posted January 1, 2007 CID Share Posted January 1, 2007 We have our tornados, that is enough for me for now. And floods, and humidity. Man Florida is nice. I guess I could learn to have true shutters installed on my house. And not live ocean front. you don't need no damn shutters just some wood for your windows when its on its way. Ocean front is the best place to live in florida.

tommie gorman Posted January 1, 2007 CID Share Posted January 1, 2007 Answer me one question dlewis, why do you always see them buying new plywood for each and every storm down there? I never see one person on the news using a pre-used piece of plywood. And afterwards there is a shortage all over the US afterwards. And the prices skyrocket. Just curious. And no your not Roco, you just wanted to show the girls your buns. I know better.

If you buy the good stuff and not the cheap shit like everyone else then your ok.

tommie gorman Posted January 1, 2007 CID Share Posted January 1, 2007 Then they should buy some paint and primer. I know, what ya gonna do. But the plywood would hold up to water then. And save a bunch of trees and cash. Just predrill.

tommie gorman Posted January 1, 2007 CID Share Posted January 1, 2007 The snow ain't so bad if you don't have kids, or lose power. The last icestorm we lost electric. Meaning no furnace or lights. But we didhave hot water. Luckily I had 2 of mom's old kerosene heaters and some kerosene in the shed. There is no warning of an ice storm. And you'd best have some food in the shelves and the freezer. Also luckily I own a 4X4 Pickup. We had no power for 3 days, and then again that night for 2 more days. Some folks were out for weeks. We were lucky. And being a landlord, my wife calls maintenance too.
