We are getting the roof tied down better with nylon.
The last smaller storm the nails into the bamboo were pulling out, so we already tied down the front.
But now since we have the time we are doing the back of the house and even the center to be safer.
There are 4 guys here working on getting it done today while we still have time.
Heading over to town in awhile to stock up on supplies.
