My barn is far from secure - everytime we get the least bit of wind I swear another shet of the metal roof peel back!!!
We've only lived in the country for less than 2 years. I grew up in NYC, and then spent 21 years in Delaware. I always envied folks that grew up in the country, and that's why we decided to give our daughter that opportunity and get out of city living.
In all the summers (1973-1982) I spent on the west coast of Florida with my grandparents, never once did we get a hurricane. strange. I've dealt with more living in Delaware and now Virginia, then ever in Florida!!!
...getting out of city living. That's my goal, too, someday.
