The call for help went out in the Chive on Monday afternoon. 24 hours later, 30k was raised.

Additionally many stepped forward and asked if they could volunteer to help at camp Happy Tummies.

In a world full of bad news the Chive never lets me down when it comes to restoring faith in humanity. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9e443c35d0.jpg

do you really
I have been pushing the limits of the code here in dade
we have the strongest wind code
and it is good for a cat 1 or 2 marginal in a cat 3 and not good for cat 4 or 5
they still require ONLY one layer of plywood roof sheathing nailed on
then the tar paper [with extra nails close spaced ] then allow shingles
rate to 120 mph nailed on or cement or clay tile

I am current working on my roof
plan is 3 layers of 5/8 ply staggered 2 ft so no leaks even if the required tarpaper blows off
screwed and glued not just nailed so far stronger and thicker and leak proof
then topped by a screwed down metal roof
held in place with 1/4 thick steel channels on the edges and peak
then run under the concrete slab and the hole dug to place the steel filled with concrete
I plan on a 1 3/4 thick triple layer not code required single 1/2 plywood
or the code required nails but screws and glue maybe 5 time stronger then code
then after the to code metal roof add not in the code steel strapping to insure the roof does not leave or leak
I am trying to build for a cat 5 not to the south fla code that may survive a cat 3

btw ANDREW came to my area with a cat 5 eyewall
