September and October saw things moving along on our project. All of the plumbing is being replaced all the way out to the street. Pete and I helped Ed with the hurricane straps. This is crucial in a "High Velocity Hurricane Zone". Every rafter gets a metal strap where it attaches to the concrete block structure, Every strap gets nine screws. We used a speciall drill bit for the concrete. With Pete's construction background and patience doing projects together is fun. We love being able to contribute our labor to building our home.
