Hurricane Bawbag 2 Has Wrecked My House!

The front sliding doors were blown in and have caused havoc inside the house!

Roof has taken a bit of a battering as well!

On a positive note, the power has come back on after a ten-hour break, so the temperature has climbed back up to a balmy 14 degrees in the livingroom now

Just waiting for the two trees that are at 45 degree angles to come down on the garden fence now!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!

Lovely view though!

That'll teach you to live in a poncy Grand Designs lookalike house!

Meanwhile, down South, I had to zip up the front of the mini greenhouse in case the plastic ripped. Oh, and I was worried about Mrs' bike cover so I did up the belly strap just to be sure!

How's the weather up North?

Cheers,
James

I've got an idea, to save on postage for the windscreen wiper bits - you could pay for me to come up on the train & whilst im there i can help you get the doors back on

Judging by the view, i might have to stay a while though ??

On a serious note, it makes me realise how lucky we get it down here in the south, the wind is high but i cant imagine it doing anything like that.

My inlaws have a house on the Isle of Bute off the west coast & have lost all power today & they reckon its the worse wind/storm they have seen in the 7 years the have been there.

Good luck & hope it doesnt get any worse.

Was a bit violent across in Fife this morning as well.
Lost several mature pine trees and lots of branches off.
Branches took down the telephone line at the back of the house.

Lost power - but only one phase - house is off but workshop is on therefore I have run an extension into the house.
A big pinetree took out a chicken coop and then continued through my next door neighbour's greenhouse.

Ridge tile came off my garage and a couple of slates on the house.

My other next door neighbour lost lots of trees and another neighbour had a big tree land on his BMW


Managed to cut up the branches which fell onto the main road as this was blocked for a while.

My portable garage/tent took a bit of a battering and had cracked a couple of welds - I've braced the structure internally with ratchet straps until I can get the welder out.

Have you been banging the back doors in again?

You should stop blaiming the weather and get on with your crazy builds!!

I hope all does well.

nice house. you would seriously pee yourself if you saw my view at the back of my house.

15feet of wall about 20feet away. no problems with the wind though!!

i got up and left for work at 5.30 this morning, it was warm and not a breath of wind, an hour later the corner of the building at work came off, howling gale, and freezing through the whole building all day. nice
