Gumpy,
You be careful.

Supposed to be bad as 2001.

Man, gumpy, I wish we were closer to you. Would love to help you build, and have a chance to learn from you at the same time.

I'd love the help. Haha. My wife's started having heart problems and she can't do much exertion without severe dizziness!
@goshengirl , I like to teach. Not to many people want to learn new things. Specially when it comes to work!
Looking Good man,
Now drink a gallon of water,
cramps are rough,

I'm sorry to hear that. It will be wonderful when it's all finished and y'all can relax more.
I've drank almost 2 gallons of water today! It got up to 82° today with 95% humidity. Beautiful sunshine, partly cloudy. Now it's raining again.
I'm not much good at relaxing. I'm usually out piddlin around doin sumpin!
Hey Gump,

Glad I'm on high ground.

Yep, just watched the 10 o'clock weather,
2-4" more rain, tonight and tomorrow,
High winds alert, Storms, and Tornado's .
Not looking forward to tomorrow,
May stay in bed.

This is the only time my wife doesn't like staying in a camper! It doesn't bother me, I love weather.
The bad stuff isn't supposed to be here until Saturday night, moderate tornado risk.
Storms and Tornado's start here Sat at 4 pm to 9 pm,
Only heavy , off and on, rain until then.

We get the bad stuff Saturday afternoon. High threat here. Low risk in Alabama can turn on ya quickly!
I know that tune, lost my home april 3, 1974. I've been close enough to hear more than few since, especially 2011.
Gumpy,
Is your new house going to be tornado resistant?

If it's not underground, it's not tornado proof. Mine will have the roof strapped to the walls and walls to floor and floor to blocks. Wind resistant, not proof!
Today's work. Not much done cause of rain. Sqared the floor and put some sub floor down.
