That damage looks similar to what occurred around this area Kathie. Trees and limbs down, LOTS of water in low lying areas. The wind even tipped grocery cart corrals at the grocery in LaSalle which is just up the road. We got more warnings around the dinner hour for severe storms so I brought the plants up to safety. It seems they have taken the storms out of the forecast for today. Well, for now.
We have a nice bike shop & cafe in town. They have bikes for every budget right up to the “How much!!!?” like Rick’s bike.
Around here they pour the footings then bring in the forms for basement walls Dave. Once they are poured the forms come off and the basement concrete floor gets poured. Next the floor joists and steel i beam get set. There may be 2 steel beams depending on the house. Then the exterior framing, some pre constructed, which is a minimum of 2” x 6” lumber goes up. Most of the roof joists now are all prefabricated off site so they are delivered and hoisted in to place. I haven’t even started on the interior trades! Geez, it almost takes longer to write about the process than it does to build the house!
It looks like sitting in the shade may be a tad cooler today Mike.
I’m still working out the “which lawn needs cutting more” Karen.
After reading your post and corrections Kathie I had to bring out Old Blue Eyes and his classic rendition of My Way…
