But, consider also that (in 42) they built houses to last either 80 years (no plywood, tarpaper and composite glued waferboard and "skinny" 2x4's!) or they built them to only 3 years (to make do for emergency barracks for transients during the war!)
So, remeber your house is made BEFORE the cheap post-war Levittown mass produced pieces of light-weight copy-cats..

Ah, I know the wood in the attic is hard as a rock and clear, no knots.
We have a small interior guest bath to huddle in if it gets bad. Two adults, two dogs and a cat in a small space and my husband is claustrophobic...make that one adult, two dogs and a cat in the bath.
I worry most about the trees. We have lots of TALL Magnolias and Pines surrounding us.

We have an outdoor ceiling fan on our pergola. Should we a) take it down or b)remove the blades or c) duck?
