Not getting my hopes up. we know how these pan out

my wife was asking when this was going to be over and how long do we have to wear masks. There's no good answer. Even with a decent vaccine and better therapeutic treatments, Covid will likely be around a long time, hopefully mutating into a less damaging virus. It's not like if we get a vaccine, it'll be like an overnight shift to no more masks and social distancing can stop. What bothers me a bit is how long do we have to play by the virus's rules. Another words, at what point will be in the clear? We could be 1-2 yrs down the road and despite a good vaccine, some will still get it and public health might still be pushing the masks and distancing. For some people unfortunately, they will forever be mask wearers and more anti-social, but I think you're right, eventually a lot of people will grow tired (if not already) of the protective measures and try to go back to normal. This winter is going to be a real test, especially in northern climates where a lot of the outdoor recreation and eating out will largely come to an end. Restaurants will still be heavily restricted on occupancy and life in general will just feel different, especially with the shorter days. Will certainly be mentally challenging for a lot

Our neighbor was too. Seems happy with it. Hillview sells a 20x28 stick garage for $10,300. that's a bargain and makes my buddys quote more ridiculous

I think for an oversized shed it's ok. 2x6" are used.

yeah, the prefab is from HillView Barns. Just wish they would do 16" wide. They will do stick built, but couldn't get one till next year.

Been looking at getting a prefab garage (1st/2nd pic) and saw one well priced at $8,000 for a 14'x24'. These are 2x4' construction with garage and side door, wood floor. I wanted a little more width at 16', but they don't make them, so I asked a friend who does construction to quote me for a 16x24', which I term an oversized shed, rather than a garage. There's no slab/foundation, just wooden floor/skid setup. He sent me the quote and I just about fell over. $24,100. WTF! This is an unfinished shed with 5/12 roof, no 2nd story. $62/sqft. That's ridiculous. Here's a pic of what we want (3rd pic). Some how he got $16K in materials, yet when I priced it out at HD I was ~$6500. Labor is $8,000. This just seems outrageous. I know building is hot lately, but I think we just get the prefab and deal with the narrow width.

is that a baby ruth bar floating in there?

54f. Feels pretty chilly in house

I was surprised we got anything.

Snagged 0.05". Sun back out.

smashed the record!

Didn't get squat from that

Looks like some nice cells will slide just to the north. Frustrating, but not unexpected.

I hope you're right

Got some lightening/thunder, hvy downpour in PWM. Nothing at home, but a light sprinkle.

Missed out on overnight showers. Looks like another week before next chance

I got a bunch of shrub brush that I need to brush hog. I think I'll wait till after 1st frost for fear of bumping into a nest

One decent Tstorm all season. Par for the course

So much for any sun today either. Got a couple hrs late yesterday but not what was expected And two minutes later it's raining

Put that link in your sig. Be good to check in during the winter. You getting a wx station?

What happened to the sunny frcst. Nothing but clouds. At least it's cooler

Other than the slug of rn in June, this Summer has played out the same way most recent ones have. High and dry. Frcst of showers that never happen. Everything burnt to a crisp.
