Well, sure. Who doesn't want the house to look nice right before the end?

Miserable random sonsof$#@!@#. Stupid hurricane. Stupid lumber store.

Alabama Farmer to his wife (pointing at the sky) "Why lookee honey. That there one got high flaluttin wood covering its windows."

Wife : "Wonder if that will make the house bounce better on impact."

I'm finding humor in this because I'm worried sick about loved ones in Florida, and under stress my sense of humor mutates. Seriously, hope you and all of them will be OK.

Never understood why people there don't buy the plywood say in the dead of winter (you know when it's 70's out), and store them in the garage. A few sheets of plywood don't take much room. A few hundred bucks on plywood stored away would about guarantee no hurricanes.
 
I'll share my teak veneer with them, Ted E. I hear it does help the bounce.

It is little known that Charlie Chan had a brother in the lumber business.

When the brother noticed he was losing expensive woods to theft, he hired Charlie to investigate.

Charlie staked out the lumber yard. In the dead of night, he spotted a boy sneak into the yard, and emerge carrying several pieces of wood.

Charlie took chase. The boy ran so fast he ran right out of his sandals.

Charlie yelled out, "Stop barefoot boy with Teaks of Chan."

Don't get it? http://www1.bartleby.com/42/797.html

OK, that's really bad, but I took all this time to find the link.
 
*grumbles* Damn profiteering bastards.

I'll be saying prayers that you and the other Litsters in the path of the storm come through safe and with your house intact.

Provided that your house doesn't end up blown clear to Wisconsin, after this storm is over, you might want to consider laying in a good supply of plywood to use when the next storm hits.
