Well the wind finally showed up around 3:00 this afternoon, and when I got home from work the first thing I checked was the rubber roofing covers on the woodstack.
My stomach sank when I saw half of the cover was overturned, it picked up the heavy splits it was screwed down to and flipped over like it wasn't even anchored down! Thankfully, that section of the covering was over my 2014 wood, so it didn't matter, but the other half that it covers is this years' wood.
Years ago (in the 1950's to be exact) the local Pennsylvania Railroad station was torn down, and all the granite pavers that adorned the station were dozed into a local stream. Around 10 years ago, I went and retrieved around 300 of those pavers out of the stream to use as landscaping stones. Well, I had a nice stack of them left over, thankfully so too. I straightened up the rubber roofing and used those pavers to help hold down the covering through the storm. There's around 1000 pounds of granite now perched on top of my woodstack......
