i've got 5 cases of beer stocked so i'm good

ups has my genny to be delivered tomorrow so it will be cold .

 

[Bioburner]

I usually stock up for the storm season when the sale is on in the spring. No need to fight the crowds and inflated prices either.

 

[Millsk]

Ugh. Stress begins...facility managment and hurricans don't mix.

I see you have your priorities in the proper order.

You folks east keep your fires lit and your heads down. I heard it described as a midwest blizzard with high tides and hurricane winds. Rain is over around here and the cold has moved in we lost 30 in about 5 hours.

 

[infinitymike]

Here we go again.

I canceled a job until later the following week.
I was supposed to start a renovation on a house Monday. We are adding to the first floor plus we have to demo the roof and do a second floor dormer.
Maybe I won't have to do the demo

Does a quarter of cream ale at my home bar count? Also a pretty good backup can stock in the fridge. Never can be too careful.

30 here this morning. The stove was on.

62 outside this morning. That sunny 70+ deg day yesterday pushed the house temp up. We have a passive solar south facing glass enclosed porch that gets up to around 100 this time of year. Pushes the house into the 80s well into the night.

What is it with these Halloween snow storms on the East Coast?

 

[P38X2]

Bring it on. Could be worse. Could be Frankentornado, Frankentsunami, Frankenvolcano or Frankenasteroidstrike.

Just remember, beer in fridge, gas in the vehicle....I think that's it. Maybe some Doritos.

I agree. They can wait till December 1, or even December 24 as far as I'm concerned.

My new toy(boat)has a 29 gallon tank. I'm planning on filling it Saterday after we hit the water. That should leave us with plenty of gas. It was the biggest pain last October. Getting it everyday and waiting in lines sucked! Next genny will be natural gas.

 

[Melissa220]

This stocking up. I don't get it. the storm will be here and gone in 24 hours give or take. I expect to be monitoring the water levels in both basements. if we lose power and we have an extended torrential downpour, I'm screwed.

 

[briansol]

latest track is scary! The moon is supposed to be full on Monday too, with high tide and epic pull, NYC may be the next new orleans!

There are battery powered back-up sumps with an added solar panel you should look into. Specially since you now have some precious supplies down there!

Only thing we stock up on is batteries and gasoline for the genny. Otherwise its the norm for us. We may get some extra quick foods we can toss on the grill or wood stove.

 

[Bioburner]

Over in 24, dig out and fix a week or more till you get to a store. Been there more than once.

 

[subsailor]

I think we're just going to be spectators up here in God's Country.

 

[IHATEPROPANE]

Another year with extra peanut butter cups

Will probably grab some gas for the generator

And I bet if I asked for the blue van occupants to care for my pellets for me until the worst was over, they might have disappeared by then. Right?

 

[ScotO]

we're ready (I think). I'm kinda hoping it's cold enough to be some snow mixed in.......

Yeah, I'm a little nuts....

 

[Don2222]

Oh, No

I cheaped out and did not use Hurricane ties on my new shed!!
Should I run down to Home Depot and get some? > > (broken link removed to http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/catalog/servlet/Search?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&keyword=hurricane%20ties&Ns=None&Ntpr=1&Ntpc=1&selectedCatgry=SEARCH+ALL)

The roof is 2x6s with an LVL in the peak.
