Dec 26, 2021 07:05 PMPerhaps. I lived in mine for 18 years and had to replace the washer & dryer and the water heater once. Due to the location I saw a mouse once and heard coyotes very often.

Dec 26, 2021 07:48 PMOh yeah, you would totally expect a tin carport to withstand a small tornado against an 80,' 2 foot in diameter tree. Guess the folks that jumped on the 1/4 mil condo, now up to 1/3 mil in 6 months shoulda bought our neighbors' little San Roque cottage for $1.9 mil. ...in stead.
