    pretty much....if he's built anything other than a birdhouse he should know!

    busy is a good problem to have. Last thing we need in a bored B:woot:ing all of the time.
    We're starting to see our before winter rush when folks try to get one more project underway before it's too cold. :typing:

    Area got LOTS of flood damage, but thankfully I didn't get any at my place. Lots of roads washed out and places flooded :( It's heart breaking listening to the stories on tv from the folks who have lost everything. Have heard from many people who said they woke up, and when they put their feet on the floor, water was up to their knees :eek:

    Hardwood floor..... been debating. Saw a pic on the 'net where someone used pallet wood to do their floors. Looked pretty decent (and cheap :woot:)

    Work is sllllllllllooooooowwww for me. Having to find stuff to do, to look busy when the boss is around :anonymous: Much rather be busy. Hope you get the help you need.

    scary! Not a way I'd want a wake up! How they can get folks back home soon...of course this is when scam artists come out of the woodwork :mad:
    And pallet wood might look cool but the boards would be all uneven and splintery. Not easy to care for.

    wow... Some people just don't think...

    Yeah, they've been warning about the scammers, but I'm sure we'll hear about more folks being scammed. There was one a day or two after the storm.

    Some people just need to have to pay for their rescue and as word gets around, they might think. Two out of town guys died after someone moved a "road closed" sign and they went off the cliff. Three of the guys got out, but the other two didn't and they were here to help with the recovery :rant: LOTS of folks thought the signs meant others weren't supposed to pass, but was ok for them :facepalm:

    They migrated? :notsure:

    24°F at the house when I got home this morning. Knik bridge was iced up with a couple wrecks. Randy drove, and a guy (we know from work) slid into the back of us ... Messed up rear lights lens cover and bumper cover. Cop lights beaconing and everything ... guy wasn't paying attention I suspect. :rolleyes: Little less than two months shy of two years since that girl in the quadcab Dodge wiped us out. :facepalm:

    Try not to feed them. ;)

    We're fine ... His slide/spin took most of the energy before he got to us; it was more a solid tap than a hard hit. Thanks Susan.
