severe weather alert

Looks like I'd better quit surfing the internet and get to work. This is what the drain lines from my gutters look like right now. 🙁

Just be happy you can actually dig in your soil. I couldn't put in a drain line without a jackhammer right now 🙄



On another note...it might be time to put the top on the Jeep 😢

That's several days with a pick to get that far. It's rock solid clay up here!

I'm having all of my windows replaced. The last 8 windows are being cut out today and the stucco guy has just started patching things up.



Today the stucco guy asked if he could work the weekend. (I guess they check the weather too).



Huge mess. 2 inches of rain will be AWESOME to wash it all away.

We need to do that too. What brand did you go with and which company are you working with?

We went with M i l g a r d windows installed by S o u t h g a t e G l a s s. the sales guy is " j e f f @ sou th ga te glass . com ". he was easy to work with. S G Glass is one of the main Mg dealers in the area.



I learned there are a lot of ways to replace windows. I went with the more labor intensive way which is the new-construction style with a nail-fin not a replace ment style that fits in the existing frame. It added a bit to the cost, but in the end I wanted the house to look like the windows belonged, nut just bolted on to fix a problem.



So far I'm really impressed with the crew, actually 2 crews (4 guys) going at it for 5 days now. Yesterday and today a 5th guy showed up.



The windows are fantabulous. I picked the T u s c a n y vinyl because I wanted double hung windows upstairs. We got the S u n c o a t 3D-max option, which is C a r d i n a l G l a s s L o E 3 6 6 filled with argon gas with foam spacer's between the glass. and they block out a ton of heat. It hasn't been cold enough to notice the difference yet.



They sub'd out the stucco work and the guy looks really good. He did some prep work yesterday and brought a crew today.



Give me a call and stop by next time your up this way if you want to check them out. They should be "done-done" monday or tuesday...

Consider this thread jacked!



We put the argon filled G r eat L ak es windows in our house in Rancho. I think we got them through We athe r i t e. We did the easier of the two installs and were very happy with it. They were in and out in a day!!! They were very professional. I'm not sure what brand we have at the new house, but they're also the easier install type. They look great, the only drawback is that they look like they have a thicker frame. I can take some pictures if you want, but our windows are dirty now. 😳



When we got our windows we stayed away from M il lg ar d because my parents had terrible luck with them. They had about 5 or so of them replaced. The warranty was unbeatable and they were replaced at no cost, but they were a hassle. The warranty we got was basically the same.



I added spaces because they look cool and make it difficult to read. 😀

:hijack: :nutkick: :hijack:

W elik ed th elo ok ofth e Ander son Ren ewe l windows when we saw them at the home show. But we didn't look at too many brands.



I tried to type like that but it took too much thinking. :rasta:

When I got bids, the And er son Rene wal were double the pri ce, actually a bit more than double.



And M i l g a r d has a better warranty.



I liked the Re new al too, but I couldn't justify the cost difference.

Wh yar eyo uguy stypin glik ethi s?

You guys are soooooo paranoid 😲

...HEAVY RAINS AND STRONG WINDS POSSIBLE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...



MOISTURE FROM THE REMNANTS OF SUPER TYPHOON MELOR IN THE WESTERN

PACIFIC IS MOVING ACROSS THE CENTRAL PACIFIC OCEAN AND IS FORECAST

TO REACH THE WEST COAST EARLY NEXT WEEK. COMPUTER MODELS COMBINE

THIS MOISTURE WITH A POWERFUL JET STREAM AND DEVELOP A STRONG

STORM THAT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. THIS STORM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO

PRODUCE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION FOR THE INTERIOR OF

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY ALONG WITH STRONG WINDS.



CURRENTLY...PRECIPITATION LOOKS TO BEGIN IN THE COASTAL RANGE AS

EARLY AS MONDAY AFTERNOON AND WILL SPREAD INLAND ACROSS THE INTERIOR

OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. PERIODS OF HEAVY

PRECIPITATION ARE POSSIBLE TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT WITH MORE

SHOWERY WEATHER LIKELY WEDNESDAY. PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS IN THE

CENTRAL VALLEY COULD EXCEED 2 INCHES WITH 3 TO 7 INCHES POSSIBLE IN

THE FOOTHILLS AND MOUNTAINS. SNOW LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN HIGH

THROUGH THE EVENT...GENERALLY ABOVE 8000 FEET.



STRONG WINDS COULD ACCOMPANY THIS STORM TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT.

AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS WINDS IN PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL VALLEY

COULD REACH SUSTAINED SPEEDS UP TO 30 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS. WIND IN

THE FOOTHILLS AND MOUNTAINS COULD BE STRONGER WITH GUSTS TO 60 MPH

OR MORE. WINDS OF THESE SPEEDS MAY CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE AND DOWN

BRANCHES OR TREES.



RIVERS AND STREAMS ARE RUNNING LOW FROM THE SUMMER BUT WILL

POTENTIALLY SEE SOME SIGNIFICANT RISES NEXT WEEK AS HEAVY

PRECIPITATION DEVELOPS. EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL COULD

PRESENT A GREATER POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING ISSUES ALONG SMALLER

STREAMS AND TRIBUTARIES...AND IN URBAN AREAS. IN ADDITION...HEAVY

PRECIPITATION FALLING ON BURN SCAR AREAS FROM PAST FIRES COULD LEAD

TO DEBRIS FLOWS.



THIS STORM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION

AND STRONG WINDS FOR INTERIOR NORTHERN CALIFORNIA EARLY NEXT WEEK.

LOOK FOR MORE DETAILED STATEMENTS TO BE ISSUED AS THE STORM GETS

CLOSER.

I'm going to post the changes as it gets closer to see how accurate these com pu ter models are to see if they guessed right.

So...you're saying it might rain next week?

No, leave the jeep out monday night with the top off. Heck, you can even sleep in it. It's gonna be balmy.
