Nice weather and hurricane straps

We had really beautiful day today and our builder made it out to the property. He sent us a picture of his handiwork - hurricane straps :-)

Given our location on a little hill in Kansas, we are thinking this bit of insurance is a good idea.

Hurricane strap attached to foundation - attaches to panel later

Our panels and windows are ordered. In fact the windows should arrive in the next couple of weeks. So our current problem is where to put them until the SIPs panels arrive! They are pretty large but we are hoping we can clear enough space in the old garage on the property to store them.

It's a good thing we put in those chain gates and have a lock on the garage. You just don't think of all those things when you start. But we are certainly glad to have to think about things like this now. The next 2 months should be exciting.

Stay tuned!
