Please Allow Me To Introduce Myself

[Frank Pellow]

Larry and Jay, Maryland is quite a small state, so why do you refer to Southern Maryland?

What with Cheasapeake Bay dividing the state the way it does, I could understand East and West, but not North and South. And, if you are in Southern Maryland, where are the folks in Pocomoke City (who are even further south than you are) ?

Here's the picture of the house sitting on the saw.

Hi Larry, and welcome!! That picture is amazing. I remember the LaPlata tornado very clearly. That's the one that picked up the car with two girls in it and through it a couple hundred yards, killing both of them. I can't imagine that!

Again, welcome!

Larry - How many times do we have to tell you, don't try and cut the room off your house with the table saw! You must have some serious outfeed rollers!

Sorry could not resist. I still get chills when I see that photo. I remember herding the kids and dog into the basement the afternoon of those tornados. Since we don't get very many the ones that hit close by are hard to forget.

Welcome to the Creek Larry! Neat place to exchange information! From beginners to pros they are all here always willing to exchange information or lend an opinion! That picture of your house and t/s is impressive! Sounds like you are recovering from the incident. Keep working on the furniture.....you've got some talent! Again......Welcome!

Welcome Larry.
This is a great place. As Sascha said, some of us have other homes (brainfrz)

Hi Larry, On a happier note, "Welcome". Glad your O.K. Mother Nature is something, isn't she?

Larry, sounds like you have quite the story to tell. Welcome aboard! Sounds like you have a well equipped and good sized place to go and hang out. Posting pics, as I'm sure you've been told, is a piece of cake. We look forward to seeing what you've made.

Edit: Ah... I see you've already figured out the pic thing. Sorry.

Larry
Welcome aboard. You found a great place to learn and teach with a great groop of people.

One thing I forgot to mention about the picture. Most people think the grey wall with the window in it is a wall I built around the house. It's actually the basement wall that the house sat on. The house was built in '56 and it had no bolts through the plate intto the cinder blocks. It's probably a good thing because I believe it would have pulled the wall over and we wouldn't have survived. We were actually about 6 ft. to the left of the saw. I watched the house being picked up, moved and set back down. Here's a picture of the new house on the same lot.

Is that table still shaking from going throuh the Tornado..... Just kidding. Looks good to me. Welcome

We were actually about 6 ft. to the left of the saw. I watched the house being picked up, moved and set back down...

WOW!!!!!! And you survived. That is just unfathomable!

[Jim Andrew]

Looks like that old Delta might have saved your lives. Congratulations! The
new house appears to have a poured basement. Much better. What county
in MD do you live in? Jim

[Michael Pfau]

Hi Larry, welcome! Looking forward to seeing your work. This is a good place to ramble! Alot of good knowledge here, glad to have you!
