You are still well under the cost of buying one completed. The best part of doing all of it yourself, you know what you have in front of you. Often as stated in this forum, people are trying to figure out what they are starting with, or what they have.
Hopefully the hurricane will turn back out to sea.

If you need to head south west, we have a spare room if you want it. The news was saying that several gas stations were running out of gas.

Just keep your head down. Mr. Moxie Magoo will keep you alerted to any problems. Did you lower your HAM radio antenna? It may come in handy in the aftermath.
