Well , i just got back to work for my regular shift , but just got phone service yesterday . Got power back last sunday late ($38 a day for gen gas was killing me ) . FEMA trucks finally hauled off the debries . I have spent $1850 in tree work and worked like a dog for a week to get this place cleaned up . Ended up loosing 8 trees , 4 holes in the roof , sheetrock/ ceilings associated with the water leaks , carpet in master bedroom and living room , cracked driveway , busted up gezebo , but things are finally getting back to normal . This was a bad one for me . I probably won't stay through another , as my wife won't let me . One cool story , I was outside in the driveway when a power guy was driving by and i flagged him down . He was assesing the power lines on friday about 4:30 pm . After a little chat about the buisness at hand , he said " that's a good looking old Chevy ". My responce was " which one"? I had the white 67' backed out of the garage , the luv was still in . He was from NC and I said take a look if you like . He came up by the garage and saw the Luv and was like . WOW! I told him i messed around with some local drag radial stuff . I fired it up all my neighbors out in the yards , just generators buzzing everywhere . Turns out the guy has and runs a true ten 5 car and i have seen it on another forum . I go inside and give him 2 houston raceway park t shirts i had that were close to new . Within 30 minutes i had 7 linemen working past there quitting time to string power to me . I had ice cold water for them and shook everyone of thems hand and introduced myself to everyone . anyway meet some great people and had power like 3 days later . OH , all three of the leaners in the last picture and the pine by the hottub came down .
