Was gonna put this in hurricane 2026 thread, but decided to make new topic.
===
We boarded up our screen only windows for the first time, but was surprised that the hardware for making posts/anchors that can easily mount plywood with pre drilled holes was absent locally. Concrete anchors of every size seems available but not for wood…?
Anyway, found a vendor that ships USPS Priority to Hawaii with a great selection of stuff for a $5/order.
https://www.windstormproducts.com/panelm...o-anchors/
So I can easily “convert” the holes drilled and used for easy no tool future repeated mounting.
===
Also Cabellas and Sportmans still have free generator shipping to Hawaii. In some cases, one day shipping (probably takes three or four days though) for only $35. Example:
https://www.cabelas.com/p/champion-power...-co-shield
===
And StarLink gave us a free month for the storm. Evil bad billionaire, I know, but don’t know any other company that does this kinda stuff. (Speed was slower by test during brunt of cloud cover during storm but always capable of streaming fine.)
Cheers,
Kirt
