Wow, IMBOC is based in Springfield, Ohio? I had no idea. That's only 20-25 miles down the road from where I live. What a small world.

We got off relatively easy considering there were hurricane force winds blowing through here Sunday, gusts over 70 mph was what the TV said and I believe it. We lost a 30' tall ash tree, and it took one of our buckeye trees with it. Also lost some trim off the outside of the shop. For awhile it looked like we might lose the shop, which was pretty scary since all five cars were parked inside. It was creaking and moaning pretty bad.

Here's hoping IMBOC gets up and running soon.

 

Time to review bracing in the shop

 

Who you callin newbie?

 

Hmmm

 

You know of course...That this is the first time I have ever agreed with you. Let's not make this a habit.

 

I'm not sure there wasn't one other time

Oh,

 

Thanks for the welcome, It's good to be around familiar people.

 

omg boB agreed?!!!

wait, I know, you must be an imposter!! Who are you and what have you done with boB?!! OK, a test to prove who you are, quick - what is the meaning of the word FLUFF??? mmmm??? you're answer will tell all....

 

Lynda is on the Case!



I wonder how Terry's mods went? Lynda, get that Generator delivered quick

 

wool why ME??? Keith (Ministang) is right down the road why can't HE do it?!



Terry is in FLA. right now lounging on the beach!!

 

yeah, kind of unexpected!! We lost a lot of trees and roofing etc. too. The biggest issue here is power though, no place to get gas and what few places are able to pump are out of gas, no place open to get food either. BUT, not nearly as bad as TX and LA

And then there is my sister.....she was at the bengals game during the storm and got pelted in the side of the face with a high speed peanut

ok, not THAT funny, it left a welt.....

 

Missing the Muppet Crowd. Wonder how long they'll put up with us here?????????

 

Very true. Right now it has bare stud walls, 13' high with minimal bracing. It is 30+ years old though, so it has seen a few storms. I was planning to insulate the walls and put 1/2" OSB plywood over the studs/insulation in a few years, but I might move that timetable up a bit, like before this winter. The OSB should really tighten things up a lot.

Surprisingly we didn't lose power at all. We're on Ohio Edison, but the people who have AEP a mile or two away aren't so lucky. AEP sent a lot of their repairmen to Texas in anticipation of the hurricane hitting hard, and they are recalling all of them ASAP to try and restore power to the half a million people without it in central Ohio. My wife's 7 story office building has been on generator power all week. They've got three huge diesel generators permanently stationed in the parking lot in Dublin where she works.

 

Hey cool, even I can call fastbob a newbie
