And I'm still waiting for my shutters
It's been 18 weeks since I paid those yahoos a $7000 deposit to install our hurricane shutters, and all we get is the runaround. I'm about ready to say screw it & cancel the contract and brave it 1 more year. The only good thing is we paid the deposit on the Amex, so we can get it back with out too much trouble. (Could to a nice remodel on the cheapo builder grade kitchen!) But I remeber the glass in our large windows bending during Wilma last year, and I really don't want to worry about that this time. It doesn't look like we'll get the shutters in time to do any good this year anyway... I change my mind every time I think about it. New kitchen vs. roof blowing off our house. Argh. LOL it's frustrating. Yeah I know Wilma was no katrina, but it could just as easily be us this year. Hopefully it will be nobody this year.

Jason is meaning hurricane clips like these to fasten plywood sheets over windows.
There is also this kind used during construction.

Hurricane straps
I have those installed when the house was built. Hopefully it can withstand a big hurricane.
