You remember my last blog - I came home from work to a suprize - my PC had a virus. Well, that's fixed now, but Ol' Ma nature couldn't let that lie - Oh, No!!
I am working away, and I get a call from the wife - "The Shed's in the back yard!" I said I would take care of it when I got home.
Now I realize that the wind has been pretty bad the last couple of days, and that the shed (thank goodness it was empty) has moved slightly. But I figured I had it braced and tied down well enough - - - - - WRONG!!!
I got home, and here was my shed - on it's side, with the front panels ripped off and laying in the back yard, a section of the roof wrapped around our power meter (Luckily it didn't break!), and part of it tangled up in the guy wires of the power pole in the yard. And no two pieces still connected properly.
So I got it pulled back dowm - and the walls collapsed the rest of the way. So i threw what remained of the roof on top of the pile of scrap that was the walls, and weighted them down with 4 cinder blocks. Fortunatley that seemed to be enough to hold it down against the wind.
So I guess I have to remember - no matter how prepared you think you are, there is always something that can get thrown your way that just blows that idea all to &%^^.
