    Good morning Lydia and Jim!! I was glad to see y'all and then you started to explain the storm event. I was releaved to see it didn't do a lot of damage, save Ladly's play set which is sad, or hours leaks. When Jim was pumping out the boat in a couple of the scenes I thought I saw a twinkle in his eye that seemed consistent with exactly what I was thinking already. Then there was the scene shot from behind focusing on the water in front of him. I was laughing out loud and then he turned around and whle not really dwelling on it, the scene was like an easter egg reward for those who were really paying attention. I kept on chuckling to myslef 😁Lydia, you did a great job with shooting the random scenes and editing it all together into a very enjoyable vid. I especially want to say kudos for the music selection, it was on point! So I don't forget, you also always do such a nice job with Ladly's hair and outfits. Near the start with her braids and cute little outfit with the bucket and all; she was just so cute. I"m always amazed when I see braids done in that way. I agree about the convenience of family living in such a close radius how nice would be. Jim. I totally agree with your approach to design and construction. If you're going to do it, you might as well do it well. I take the same approach and would much rather make it an overkill initially, than wish I would have later on when it doesn't stand up. I like your thoughts on and engineered approach to providing the support for the upper containers on the project. Kudos on the approach and design for this. I loved the comments at the end you both made about all the Hootises that could come out of the Hootis Mfg Facility - you two really made me laught with that one 😂 Have a great week and I look forward to seeing y'all again next time.

    I live in what was known as "The Cape of Storms" back in the days of sailboats.
    You have probably heard of Cape Town, South Africa...
    Here, whenever someone tells you that their new structure is "strong enough", the next big storm system that comes through says "HOLD MY BEER" and sometimes that "strong enough" structure winds up in the next property or sometimes, even the next suburb. Or pieces of it anyway...
    Glad to hear that you believe in making things at least 3 times stronger than any "normal" person would expect.
    I have a feeling that you have seen with your own eyes what CAN happen.

    That’s why when I built my house, I add extra bracing in the attic, in the wall corners and just the overall structure! I used to live in Big Lake on the island, right on the water where the flood waters come up and the wind is the worse! I didn’t stay long before I had enough of flooding in salt water! Build my house in 1984 and it’s 3 feet above the center of the road to the top of my slab! Haven’t flooded yet and hopefully I won’t!

    Glad you’re all safe!!! Maybe make cypress frame beds for the storm shelter just in case. Hope the dirt doctor didn’t get to mad when he found out you took his I beam. lol Take care!

    Always be prepared! Glad you had somewhere safe for your animals. Can you repurpose Ladley's playset into just the slide for now, or even her own little garden bed?
