We see them but it is not very often. Usually occurs south of the city But Baltimore has seen one or two here and there. Sometimes the hurricanes or tropical storms will spin up tornadoes. Nothing like a storm that can be hundreds of miles across with winds pushing 75+ miles per hour with rain a calm center and then the other side comes through with winds in a different direction and just as strong if it is a hurricane. Tropical storms have winds between 45 and 74 mph. And I get to go to work in weather like that because I am essential personnel.

Tough being essential Shaun.. Seems you work no matter what. Some times I wonder if I am essential or just abused..

It is what it is Steve. My cell phone is on 24 hours a day because I never know if work might have to call me in early or on a day off.

Usually use untreated pine. Doesnt need to be fancy since it will be painted. But I need 1 2x4x12, 2 2x2x8's, and quite a few 2x2x6's. After I get teh poles cut and fit to the tent as well as painted I can start working on getting the 70 feet of manila rope cut into the proper lengths.

Sounds like you have a bit of work a hard of you Shaun.. I used ripped 2x4 penetrated for my tarp poles with a galvanized screen in the top that fit in the grommets.

Paying bills and having toys is a good thing.
Is it the same pressure washer pump Steve?

A bit of work for sure Steve. Hardest part is cutting and whipping the rope as well as putting on the tensioners which will also have to be cut, drilled, and painted.

Maybe the spray nozzle is a bit worn?
How often do you have to replace tent poles Shaun?
