Glad to see it wasn't s bad as it could have been, at least initially. The plywood over the windows does slow down the looters, too.
 
One thing I need to get on...just so damn pricey. I mean, it's near $20 a sheet, so we're looking at about $140 or so, just for the wood alone. Not to mention, I have a concrete block house, so that's a LOT of concrete hole drilling....for us being so far inland.

Ouch, y'all a little expensive down there, 3/4" sheathing plywood run about $12.99 and in some places $11.95 here, 25pk of concrete/masonry strike/wedge 1/2 x 4.25" anchors for $19 (with nuts, just need bigger washers)

I have SS strike anchors around all my windows for future needs.

Near $20 a sheet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its $45 a sheet here. The Bloody Swedes and Finns dominate the industry.
 
Yikes. I'd never get anything done at that price, lol. As it is, I often get chip board where I can use that instead (as it's more like $10 a sheet).
I hate osb! Yet I still used it on the new building as it's the only affordable option. 1/2" plywood was 17 and change. Osb was right at 10.00 so it won.
 
You suck.... At that kind of price I'd consider buying a semi load and resale it on the east coast.

I have plywood mills all around me, 46 smaller scaled mills not counting the big boys like weyerhaeuser just on the west side of the cascades, not counting in the cascades or the east side of the state ;)

That's a great resource to have around. I always said that if I built another house in fla it was going to be made with 3/4 inch toungue and groove plywood. Floor, walls and roof. I wanted hurricane proof. It never happened as it was way too expensive to consider.

Same here (plywood is about 19 here). Though I wish I didn't use it (OSB) for the roof of the coup (at the time, I had it as spare material, so didn't cost me anything). I mean, I tar papered, and put shingles on, but the rains we have here...well, going to have to replace the coup roof at some point. I'll likely use it for the dog house roof too though, same reason. I mean, it did last for about 2 years so far (and it was free). I'll just paint it good first, with some sealant.
