Holy cow, Brett! I see I am going to have to call more often to keep caught up or be sure I make more reading time! I am very sorry to hear of the burglary and fire. What a terrible thing to do to anyone. I am glad to hear you had a good friend to stay with and that you both seem to be coping with it, together and well.:-) Wakana sure sounds like a keeper.:-) Oh, and I can relate to those winds, though NOT 185 mph! Wyoming has wind, but I don't remember any blizzards going beyond 100 or so!

Take care and enjoy your new place as it takes shape. There is some satisfaction to be had from surveying the results of one's hard work, esp. when shared. And, let us know if there are things we can help to replace, okay?
