I worked on my house. Drywall work and some painting. Since Washington allows ALL types of fireworks, it sounded like Bagdad here all day.

 

lol, nice. Fireworks are illegal here unless you're "licensed" to set them off or whatever. It's crappy, but they're free to watch everywhere, so it's not all that bad.

 

This happened on the 4th of July weekend. BBQ the whole day on the 4th.

 

i can't see the grill and Tbone.

 

We went to my mother-in-laws for the fourth. Used George Foreman grill to cook cheddarwursts & hamburgers. It was too hot for us to be outside. She is 79 and I was still recovering from surgery.

We had a doozy of an electrical storm, so watched that instead of fireworks. Next year maybe we will get to see fireworks downtown. Right now, we are just taking things one day at a time.

 

I assume that means you bought that Benz? If so, it's gorgeous!

 

my 4th started with a bang on the 2nd, bad storm came thru the area, lots of cloud to groung lightning, one was cloud to my house, punched a hole in the roof, burned up computer, telephones, cable modem, boiler control, a/c condensor, central vac, luckily no fire. and no one hurt, scared the heck out of us, sounded like a missel coming in followed by a loud crack !

 

wow, that was some hit.

homeowners should cover all of the replacement tho. less your deductable of course

 

got everything fixed now, total was just under 10k...would have been more, but did most repairs diy, insurance allowed some labor cash, but insurance covered everything well, 100% replacement cost policy paid off, less the 500 deductible.....cant complain. hopefully they dont drop me, heard homeowners can be as bad as auto after making a claim.

installed lightning protection system also........dont want to go thru that again.........

 

Met my brother at our cabin, put the boat in the water, bbq'd, watched fireworks. Just for fun I brought along a Slip-n-Slide and a Keg of beer, was alot of fun, but the both of us are still recovering....lol
