No, but thanks for asking. Power was restored in about 4 hours, so we didn't even lose the freezer contents. It took a couple of those broken off trees through the powerline run on River Road & once one lane of the road was cleared, they had to replace 3 broken poles. I had just left to go to Lowes, and had looked up at the western sky & thought it looked pretty black but left anyway. It chased me all the way to Buchannon, then trapped me in Lowes while it put down about 3" of rain. The wife knew it was blowing to beat hell, but didn't even think of going to the basement till it had passed. I pointed out that was what she shoulda done, and got told to shaddup. Thats my baby. ;-) My new garage, has no j bolts into the foundation because 2 of its 4 walls are sitting on the retaining wall I built, with a heavy coat of tar under the sill plates, and alu flashing running out over the edges of the blocks below the vinyl siding. It didn't move, and didn't lose any shingles. The walls are 2x6 on 24" centers, with 1/2" osb on both sides and blown full of cocoon so there is at least the usual weight. The house did shift, just enough to effect the deadbolt lock in the front door but I haven't tried to square that up again, last doing that I broke the steel prehung frame above the hinges about 20 years ago with a sledge because it was leaning up the hill. With 4" deck screws in the hinges, I might be able to adjust it just with those. But we can still lock it, so its a shrug till I get to it. :-) -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
