Gots to know, have the fires died out?? They working on your house yet??
Amazing how long those fires can last even after rain. But good you are in the clear. Good luck on the house.
You need to devote your self in the next month to get a real nice firearm that you have or have not been looking for. Some times finding something you have not been looking for can be more sweeter.
LOL, funny you should say that. I was looking at guns and told myself no more until we are back in the house and have my gunroom set up.
Then yesterday my wife pops off with......
"You've been so good and understanding with all this"......
Uh oh ALARMS go off in my head......
She continues with.....
"I saw a sign about an upcoming gunshow, we ought to go, you never know you might find something you want or like"
ALARM in my head is getting louder......Wondering if this is a trap....!
Guess we'll see, I did look online and found out that there is one scheduled for this week-end in Panama City.
If I disappear from here, then it was a trap........!

Yeah a girl said something similar to me once..
Ended up having to marry her.
Love the sign. Some truth in advertising.On Friday, 25 March a Cease Work went into effect, on Wednesday 06 April, a Structural Engineer came out to assess the house structure. There is structural damage, and the engineer must decide if it's repairable or if it will be a complete teardown and rebuild.......
Hoping it can be repaired, but getting myself prepared for the worse just in case.
The issues found are two fold.....First after getting the siding off the house, some on the studs were cracked, split during the storm (So that's why there is a dip in the roof on that side). Second with the roof being damaged as bad as it was, some parts of the framing was soaked by the rains during and after the storm....which caused some of the framing to rot and attract termites, where the little SOBs had a party. It seems to be all limited to the first floor on one wall, but you never know.
Contractor wants to jack and support and replace the damaged areas, but the Engineer had to evaluated it first before they'll allow that, and the engineer will have final say. The Engineer says once they pull more siding off and they can see if the damage is limited to what is seen so far or more wide spread he'll make the call.
Needless to say my stress level is rising quickly, trying to calm myself down and not put myself into some sort of cardiac episode........We've already put around $60,000.00 into repairs and now we're waiting to hear if it'll be a complete teardown........
I need some range therapy.........
First two pictures so the extent of the roof damage after Hurricane Michael, the last picture shows where the damaged studs and framing have been found.

Man it keeps coming... Good luck

Oh man what a headache
I had a concrete block house on a concrete slab get termites long ago before I bought it. Terminix found the old damage when they went to spray and showed me. Little buggers came up thru the hole in the middle of the slab for my interior shower chase. He injected the dirt in that hole with about 5 gallons of poison! Lmao I said something along the lines of "Superfund site" and he finally quit pumping. Those Terminix guys don't play around. They have a gaurantee to stand by. You'd think a concrete house would be safe. Nope.
