Not in the same league of course, but we just got our work finished from a massive hailstorm that hit in June 2023.  Entirely new roof shingles and flashing, new gutters, new screens, new window sealant/caulking, two new windows, and a new garage door. 

Luckily all cars were in the garage at the time, I had JUST cleared it out so that my truck could fit in next to the wife's Jeep and we didn't have my daughter's car yet.

Shingles are not allowed here, per HOA rules.

We had concrete barrel tiles, which I don't care for. We are going with flat concrete now.

No other major damage as the house is concrete block with stucco finish. We put in hurricane windows when we bought the house. Cars were in the garage.

Students Of 1 In 4 Higher Ed Programs Earn Less Than High School Graduates, Study Finds

CBS Money Watch reports according to a new analysis of earnings data “from almost 4,000 colleges and other higher education programs,” Americans may be justified for becoming “increasingly skeptical of the value of a post-secondary education at a time when college attendance costs are soaring.” The HEA Group, which analyzed Education Department data to track students’ earnings outcomes, found that a decade after enrolling, “attendees of 1 in 4 higher education programs are earning less than the median annual income of $32,000 for high school graduates.” About 8 percent of institutions “show their students’ median income a decade after enrolling is less than $22,000 a year, or about 150% of the federal poverty line,” The HEA Group found.

3-tab asphalt shingles or luxury asphalt shingles are required here, per HOA rules. :)


There are some variances granted for metal roofs but the design/color must be approved by the HOA Architect Committee.

I hear it can be very debilitating.

Same here on the metal. There is only one on the block and it looks like those barrels, which I do not like at all. Metal is about 30% lighter, I'm told.

I'm thinking that the concrete tiles are best for hurricane protection. More down force on the roof would help keep it in place.

Just as we moved in here, the roof was being redone.  It turned out to be much more expensive than had been forecast because it had been covered with loose stones, maybe they were glued.  Anyway, the city said those had to be removed.  There was an assessment on owners to pay for the increase, but we slid in under the time limit.

Most condos require a 2x payment of a month's HOA dues here when a condo changes hands, this place had been at 1x, which they changed a few months after we moved in.  It's not the end of the world, but both were pretty significant.  I spent half the savings on good booze, wild women, and fast cars, the other half ...

... I wasted.

Should have stopped in 1990, with the reunification of Germany. I don't understand why Turkey was added either.


Turkey was one of the early members, they were added because of the Bosphorus Straits, and we used them to stash nuclear missiles on their land- which is one of the many factors in the Cuban missile crisis.
