It costs us 300 to install and 300 to remove each time because Im just too old w no ladders to reach 2nd story windows anyway. I really dont have the funds for 600 bucks each occurrence either.
😖 Grrrr

Let's hope Elsa blows Mar-a-Lago a good one. I can dream. Add more misery to the Orange one's not-so-good week.

(107,957 posts)Hurricane Elsa, the first of the Atlantic season, could take many paths when it reaches the United States, from the East Coast to the Gulf Coast to Florida -- including Surfside, where rescue operations are ongoing.
Elsa is over St. Lucia Friday morning after blowing through Barbados, where it brought wind gusts of 86 mph.
A hurricane warning has been issued for Haiti, where heavy rain, flash flooding and rough winds are expected when Elsa charges in Saturday afternoon, likely as a Category 1 hurricane.
By Sunday night into Monday, Elsa will pass over Cuba as a tropical storm with heavy rain, flash flooding and 65 mph winds.

Let it blow, let it blow,
Let the wind rip off your door!
I don't care what the NOAA Says,
Let the storm rage on!
'Cause wind never bothered me anyway.
