We live in a brand new home that we had built that we just moved into back in May. My contractor did us a favor by putting in the same size windows through most of the home. So I got probably 15 out of 20 that will require the same exact cut which means I can use one cut out as template for the other 14. I am also using Plylox clips that cost $30 for a bundle of 20 I think which will eliminate drilling into the brick which also takes time.

Back in 1988 with Gilbert when I was 16, I board up my old house down in the Valley all by my lonesome. It was a woodframe house with big windows which didn't require much cutting so I just slapped the plywood on and nailed with a hammer. I was in alot better shape back then as well.

Praying for my fellow Valleyites down there that this one misses you too.

My husband doesn't nail them. He takes a 2x4 and wedges them in. The next house we build will have storm shutters built in!
