72°F and only .04 inches rain. Olivia getting nearer but perhaps we get the lesser, southern side as it appears more centered on Maui.

You guys in Florence path stay aware

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Even Yankees fans? :D

Seriously, that’s very gracious of you.:thumbsup:

I'll have to rethink the Yanks part of the equation! :laughing:

We are blessed. Only right to share that blessing if at all possible! :thumbsup:

Toppop must have meant the NY Yankees...:D

Electrician no showed me this morning though hours later found a note on the back of my golf cart, have no idea when he came.
Then roofer came, super nice guy, young, honest, 67 squares of shingles, 200 bucks a square installed including materials.
How does that price sound to others?

most importantly I am on his list/cue and he said just call him if needed and he would tarp my damaged roof if needed.
Yes....

I'm off to go rescue my loaned mower at the River, than back to finish mowing.

Lot depends on shingles being put on. Removal and haul away included. Ice and water in all valleys and edges. Ridge vents and other new vents.
I am not a expert. But this type of info should be in any quote. Shingles here go from $50 to $150 a square for shingles only.

thanks Ron. Everything was included, I was eighth person to do exact same thing so he has a lot of estimates before me, but that was his ballpark.
He said the cheap insurance shingles are 15 bucks a square, good stuff 30 (GAF slateline) plus install, so his materials costs were reasonable.
I clearly don't want the 15 dollar stuff. First let's see if it blows off.

came in after finishing mowing and putting grapple on Kubota plus taking off mower and putting rear weight box on. Tractor filled with fuel, all bungie cords in operation, trailer tied to 6x6's, nothing more to do. Picked up riding mower at River, brought it home, put away, lot of running around. Nice to sit down in a/c, thunderstorms grumbling outside.

thanks. I figured in that price range, just amazed so many squares, big garage roof added a lot apparently, my house is long and somewhat narrow and very inefficient in many ways. The upstairs where my office is and the second guest bedroom is gets too hot in the summer, wanted to add insulation, asked about insulated matting under shingles, that seemed to get me a blank stare. I know you can add insulation under siding, but other than membrane, nothing else?

This morning in Lowes I had a nice experience with two guys discussing which of several fasteners to use, and it was clear
they were pros. So I nicely asked about the right nail to hold tarps down, as I had a box of standard roofing nails with the big flat heads, and they
said there was something better, the ones with the plastic caps on them which are about 50 percent wider diameter. And very lightweight.
So I bought both, figuring I might need to use one and give/loan the other away.
But these guys just launched into a helpful let me show you. Almost like a tv commercial.

Of course it might have been because I quietly excused myself and asked them if they were pros.
heh heh heh you stroke the ego a little, like watering a flower, and all kinds of nice things can happen.
Well, yes we are actually, and let me show you something that might work even better.
I wonder if they were mfg reps.

what a long day. So many things to remember. I look out the back window and see things I've missed but have no energy left, will go on the morning list. I did remember to turn off the propane to the wheeled but permanently plumbed gas grill but now I need to strap it down. On the morning list.

My brother lives about 5 miles north of Elizabeth City, I talked to him today, he’s worried about wind damage there too.

Someone already mentioned usind the nails with plastic discs for holding tarps.

Tonight i got 3 cans diesel and 2 cans of gas. Filled both tractors with 2 of the diesel cans, put one of the 5 gal cans gas in another tall, narrow can that is a pain to haul, freeing up the can for another fill. Right now i got about 18 gal of gas in cans, and will get more.
I have never prepared this much for a storm before. Last i saw, we are in the 4-6 inches of rain band,

Good evening all. 69F this morning, overcast, calm wind. Wind picked up from the east, periods of light drizzle, and a high temp of 80F. Got about .05 inch of rain, slowed the start of bike ride because of wet roads. Did hit some drizzle while riding. Had to take the dog to the vet, has **** gland issues and ulcers on the ****. Get to apply creme to it, hope it helps :eek: No nap 2 days in a row, gotta fix that ;).
Good to hear about the prep going on for the hurricane.
RNG thanks for the heads up about Air Gig.
prayers for all.
