Tuning Up

 Storms came in Thursday with fair warning. We headed for the storm shelter which is cozy for two people and three dogs but it does it job! The front door of the container is a bugger to try to shut from the inside especially when you have high winds working against ya. So Friday Mtn Man went to work fixin this issue so we will be safer in our shelter. 
First he had to remove the door handles which are long rails you twist to shut.

For the last year we have had a rope attached so we can pull it shut and tie it to the inside hooks.

After Thursday nights high winds, hail and torrential rain he decided we needed a better system.
Mtn Man went to welding on new handles which required cutting a hole in the box to put the handle in. Then put another handle on to make things easier to shut from the outside and two brackets for locking from the outside and one on the inside.

The end result is fabulous! May not look pretty but it is functional!

Update on hail damage ...we were looking around to see if maybe we could see any damage and we found some on top of the storm shelter. And as you can see the tar paper is done for good now! Lesson learned on that front! Wait until you have metal and paper at the same time!

Thank goodness for the power of prayer!!

Just east and northwest of us they had tornadoes of a small caliber touch down and do some damage. Thank God no one was hurt or killed!

The season has just begun.......

Have a great weekend!

Always keep God in the forefront of your mind in all things!
