So, what precautions have you taken at your houses/construction sites for today and the coming days?

Work stoppage?
Or will the work continue as usual?

Although we have already finished building our house, we moved everything that is not anchored into the garage.
Hopefully, the bricks will stay in place with the clamps.

Strangely, the neighbors put up the entire scaffolding just last night because the workers will be roofing the house next week.. oops:
Not sure if that was a good idea.

You all with your houses... I had a much bigger problem. I let the cats outside because they were annoying me, insisting on going out, and I thought: Those who won’t listen need to learn the hard way—getting wet and blown around. It didn’t help me at all except for getting scolded by my girlfriend (she was worried they’d get blown away xD). After I called them back inside (soaking wet), one of them wanted to go out again. Stupid animals.

PS: I think our house is still standing, I wasn’t crushed by a falling ceiling while sleeping, and even the construction chairs were only blown over to the neighbor’s place. Let’s see if I can get them back. They originally belonged to him anyway ^^

Then they have probably automatically become his property again ^^

...just went to check... the structural frame looks solid and two men are installing the concrete lintels... it can't be that bad

Dixi finally toppled over. Currently, it is bright and sunny with only light gusts of wind remaining. The worst is over, and fortunately, nothing serious happened. In other areas of Germany, it was more severe.

There are dozens of trees down on our property. But still far from the scale of Lothar.

No damage in our forest.

The portable toilet has finally fallen over after all.
“Portable toilet kicking” – wasn’t that once a nasty prank played on unpopular people at the construction site? It always stupidly fell onto the door…
