Re: Charley's Eye

I'm here in Lakeland, and our apartment complex has pretty much said absolutely no to putting any plywood up that is nailed into any part of the building. Just wonderful. I'm contemplating measuring the window space inside the brick edging and seeing about wedging a chunk of plywood tightly into that place. We also have a balcony above us, so there are support poles in our patio, and I've had delusional ideas about stringing up some 6mil vinyl in between the support poles as a sort of "oh darn" tarp/spiderweb to catch some of the clumsy debris that might get coughed up.

I'm really being overly paranoid. Our apartment has a sliding glass door facing into a small quad of trees in the middle of a full rectangle of apartment buildings. Since the buildings completely surround the quad more or less, I'm thinking the wind won't be too bad since it'll get broken up by the buildings, but I'm more concerned with moron neighbors who won't pull in their lawn chairs and such off the backyard.

Oh well. Still have time to debate what kind of tissue paper solution I want to try and put up to minimize any potential damage.
