The windy weather - Matt - 06-01-2012
So with all this wind has anyone lost anything?
I personally lost the fence down the right hand side of the garden. Also an unvented laguna splitter, splitter was in the garden now it's not :/
Usual table and chairs upside down lol

Re: The windy weather - Moonstone2.0 - 06-01-2012
about 50 tiles off various parts of the roof, waterfall down the inside wall of the livingroom, large field fence now squint, heavy two level bunny cage and bunnies blown through garden like tumbleweed (all ok and unharmed). But you gotta love renting though so no financial damage as such :p

Lost some of the cardbord that was in the recycling box - but not too upset, as I keep ordering stuff off the internet I have quite a steady supply of cardbord coming in!
Moonstone - why am coming to stay with you this weekend??? Sounds like a dangerous place to be!

I have lost, several slates off my workshop roof (I say lost, the are in the garden stuck into the lawn end on so easy to find again), result of which is that several freshly painted panels from my mates stock car that were drying nicely in my workshop the other night are now buggered and need painting again! not amused!

Neighbours wheelie bin blew down the street, hit the Calibra and dented it, not that I care. The guy knocked on my door apologizing and offering to fix it but I told him not to worry about it. What's one more dent really?
Re: The windy weather - Connor - 06-01-2012
Nothing I dont think lol
Re: The windy weather - burnmw - 06-01-2012
Couple of fence panels down but they're the neighbours responsibility not mine, and the garden table that I'd carefully stacked 3 tyres on has fallen over spilling the tyres on to my spare bumper.
Other than that nothing major round our way!
Re: The windy weather - Poodle - 06-01-2012
Fence has gone down in the back garden night before last. I was thinking myself lucky it's the neighbours responsibility, but karma took it's toll and the fence on the other side fell over too :problem:
The windy weather - Matt - 06-01-2012
Which fence is the neighbours responsibility? I don't want to fix ours haha
Re: The windy weather - Curt - 06-01-2012
All our gates have been trying to make a bid for freedom, nearly fell on my car. Now held together with various audio cable. Lots of fencing has nearly come down, other than that not a lot thankfully.
Re: The windy weather - Toms306 - 06-01-2012
Surprisingly none of our fence fell down this time, obviously cos I reinforced them after last time.
Wind broke the gate latch though, it slammed shut after mum walked through it and snapped the solid metal latch clean off!! Good job we have a second gate so we can keep that one wedged shut lol....the second gate is a bit of a walk though....so I parked on the front garden the last two days lol....fixed now though.

Neighbours fence is the right hand one. Your responsibility is left and bottom IIRC, or at least that what the deeds to our property states and I'm pretty sure they're all the same.
The windy weather - Matt - 06-01-2012
Sweeeeet I shouldn't have to fix it then
Re: The windy weather - Foxy-jim - 06-01-2012
We lost one fence panel! Then the neighbours chickens ran on the garden!
Re: The windy weather - Harky - 06-01-2012
Personally, nothing thankfully.
Locally however, one fella got trapped in a car when a tree fell on it, but more amusingly part of the roof of the local Asda blew off!

A plane flipped? Would wanna watch that happen lol
Re: The windy weather - Niall - 06-01-2012
Roof came off the queens stand at Epsom race course meaning they closed most of Epsom downs for a few days! Who says modern buildings are better eh?!
Re: The windy weather - THE_Liam - 06-01-2012
Part of the roof was blown off St Helens RFC's new stadium. Speaking as a Leeds Rhinos fan, this makes me very happy
Re: The windy weather - Strikeforce - 07-01-2012
I woke up to find the bins blew all over the garden with rubbish everywhere but thats it
But look at the house at the top of my street :0

Re: The windy weather - burnmw - 07-01-2012
Just had a look at the prices of fence panels/stuff for our garden. Measured up and it turns out our garden is 68ft long (well, 75ft if you count the bit of wall at the beginning...) and 28ft wide. So a quick tally up for ONE side and the bottom means we need 17 panels and gravel board, and 19 posts and post supports, quick eBay/Wickes gives a total of nearly £920
hock: Looks like we might need to do a bit of saving before we get that done! Might ask the neighbours to chip in as the side that needs replacing is actually not ours.
