Hurricane Laura

@RoLo Two sons & I drove around the neighborhood, one house no damage the next destroyed, a 2' diameter tree twisted & snapped while a 18" diameter tree next to it not phased.

 

It's wild ?

 

Precisely what we've witnessed here in Florida.

You would see a 20-yr old Fleetwood trailer that sustained zero damage,

not even missing shingles or one broken window. Two doors down, a Palm Harbor

was turned inside out like it struck a mine field, with furniture & insulation blocking the road.

 

The only thing that comes to mind are local spinoff twisters (mini-tornadoes);

either that or a religious connotation

This has been an extremely active year for hurricanes. Right now there are a couple storms that have potential to become hurricanes and it is currently the peak of hurricane season. Let's see what happens in the next couple months.

Talk about one angry Cajun?

 

To remove that one tree I've quoted as much as $18,000!

 

Those people are on drugs!

Maybe. When we had the Northridge quake, there were hundreds of fallen brick chimneys that fell down. When these were rebuilt, they could not be brick any longer, but the bond beam had to be inspected before you could do any more work on them.

Well, I got to talking to a couple of other contractors about price, I could not believe what I was hearing...these clowns were getting 3 to 4 times what I was charging, and I was making good money on them, only cuz I was doing like 6 at one time.

So, there's always idiots taking advantage of a sad situation, I'm guessing you already knew that though. Round up all your friends with chainsaws and get'r done..Good luck Catt.

   There have always been two kinds of people in the human race. The first kind picks you up when you're down. The second kind kicks you when you're down.

   It doesn't take too many of the second kind to ruin your day.   ☹️☹️      jj

@Hammer 4 These clowns say "well your insurance is paying", I said yeah & when you leave with a fat wallet my insurance goes up. 

 

There are literally thousands of tree jobs so how much money do you have to make to be satisfied!

I'll drive from AZ and do it for 6000.00, your secret bait and the porch.

 

Have me back next season, take me fishing and I'll split all the wood.

That is outrageous I'm telling you.

My brother and I do tree removal on the side and charge $200 and we keep the wood.

   Hey @Catt! .... what is The Cajun Navy? Are they for real, as in "Are they legitimate"?  The word is that there are many fakes. How do we tell the real one?      jj

I agree with you. That is why there are so many problems in the world, too many greedy people taking advantage of others for a quick buck.

People that overcharge in a situation like this are worth less than garbage.

If it’s anything like Katrina you have to watch out for those whackjobs that drive down from the Midwest trying to retire early off people who need to get a clue. Bad part is it worked

We're not all like that. My neighbor spent 4 weeks a year for 10 years volunteering for Habitat for Humanity to help rebuild in the poor neighborhoods that got hit hard from Katrina

As Dr. Chisholm, who was a fantastic economics professor at LSU back in the 60's said, "always follow the money."

 

Still true today.

 

Note what is happening around the country and give some thought about "following the money."

[Catt]

Feeling a whole lot better ?

No sir the damage is only to the overhang, I didn't even see a rafter broke.

[Catt]

I've been a carpenter all my life & at 69 I can count on one hand how many roofs I've done!

[Catt]

Reality Check ?
