Good girl or good dog.

She is a dog, with doggie needs, and amazing doggie abilities. I don't pretend she's not a dog. That said she is absolutely a part of the family. Hell, grandma asks "how's Roux" even before asking about any of the people in the house.

"The ILA's initial demands included a 77% wage hike over six-year contract"
A bit high but hey if you don't ask you won't get...

"To protect job security, the ILA is demanding a complete ban on the automation of cranes, gates and container movements used in the loading or unloading of cargo." :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm in Marianna Fl and we already have had 4 inches of rain. No wind yet

1) who'd have thunk another OTer here?!?
2) 8 inches by early afternoon here on the pond

Tally friends are mostly staying put, though friends in Crawfordville / Wakulla have evacuated.
I know what Michael did to us, our landscape... Tally/Crawfordville/Wakulla/Appalachicola is going to look very different after Helene.

I’m north east of Tallahassee.

Madison or closer? With a family not a bad idea to get out of the bullseye.

I'm north west of Tally. We're staying put but should be on the "good" side and well, lost most of our trees with Michael...

IIRC Michael was spun up in a similar way and they absolutely nailed that forecast from the get go.

Yep. I remember thinking "ah we're fine they never get it right the first forecast"....and then a Cat5 Michael went over our house just as they predicted.

You have enough tarps for your place?

Thanks tide, our house is good, and we will get back out there and take care of the neighbors soon as the rain stops. Mostly debris cleanup, some chainsaw work.
Elderly lady across the street didn't have quality repairs done after Michael and it shows ... her home will now probably be condemned.not much we can do there.
Another lost a whole chunk of roof. Reminds me of that new skylight we had after Michael lol. They have a 1yr old baby, they are ok but we need to get that roof tarped today.

The 6:30a tornado passed by way too close for comfort here. Ripped siding off the house, lots of neighborhood cleanup needed but we are ok. However I'm hearing it completely destroyed a campground just a mile up the pond. Fatalities expected.

Has anyone else seen this?

Absolutely. If a breeder doesn't require returning the dog if you can no longer care for it then find another breeder.

In the end, LVP is still just cheap vinyl floor. It is NOT hardwood. At all. If you're going to go with terrazzo, which sounds like a nice high end option, doing the rest with LVP just seems silly to me.

We went engineered hardwood (custom salvaged pecan) as it was recommended over solid hardwood for install over cement slab. From the surface there no difference between solid hardwood and engineered, they look the same and are treated the same as far as care over the years. Get a thicker layer of hardwood in your engineered material and it will live through several refiniahings.
