Arno replies with a cutting solution

The solution to ripping my LFS Beam anchors turned out to be much easier than expected.

Lol!

Progress Notes

Not a whole lot accomplished this weekend and next weekend isn't looking much better.
But we did get a few things taken care of and I'm back to square one with some beam parts...

(No fun spending time and money creating JUNK parts!)


Note: 
I spent some time with my father weekend before last showing him how to use this blog site.
So this next part is for him:

Louisiana flood cleanup and demolition

No boat work this weekend.

Instead, I drove down to Louisiana to lend a hand to my sister.

She was impacted by all the flooding in the Baton Rouge area.

18" of water in her home destroyed just about everything in there.

The waters came up so fast that they were really unaware of the situation until receiving a knock on the door from a guy cruising around on a boat doing evacuations!

We spent two days doing sheetrock demolition and insulation removal.

We were able to get the electricity turned on and took a chance on the HVAC system.

(It spent a couple of days under water). We cleaned the contacts and hit the breaker, figuring the worse that could happen is that it would go up in smoke... Turns out it worked just fine and helped a lot in cooling down the interior and pulling out some of the moisture.

It'll be months before this area is back on it's feet.

The devastation was huge and people were working themselves to exhaustion.

It was really sad.

Driving into the subdivision.
Trash is just starting to pile up

So much destruction

This car was run over by a boat.

This house had water rise to the eves (soffit).
I bet it's a total disaster in there!

On the bright side, I did get some boudin!
(A Cajun delicacy for sure)
Missing out on food like this is probably the worse part about living in the Mid-West.

I stayed with my dad for a couple of days.
In this picture we are all soaking wet with sweat from spending the previous 2.5 hours in the attic changing out the water heater.

(Great timing to have us all there and able to help with water heater replacement)
