As long as I live, hurricane season '04 x4 will likely rate at the top of worst summers ever. The house was boarded up so often, it looked like a crack house until I painted the plywood. We got the kevlar hurricane screens after that year. Easier to put up in a pinch, and they allow filtered light into the house.

Two storms making landfall three miles apart in Stuart that season--where my elderly mother lives--go figure! I remember topping off the gas tank a couple of times crossing the state, as I knew there would be no gasoline available near Martin Co.

Your painted windows are SO pretty! (Maybe you could have
a business painting plyboards with pretty flowers and
things for others who aren’t artists!)

I like what you did to the plywood, very nice. We built a new house in 2010, added the Kevlar screens on the patio, installed a 26kW diesel generator (275gal. tank). The whole house is built to the new codes.

Dealing with the boats in another story. The 42’ Post is hauled out, west of Stuart, River Forest Yachting Center, the Dusky will go to Cracker Boys. I’m removing the canvas in the morning, adding fuel for the trip to River Forest.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed, that it goes East!

George Inness - a world class painter - has some his his most beautiful works in a small Tarpon Springs Church... he painted on the plywood used to cover broken windows after a storm...
