Anybody know how to build an ark?

[WE4]

I need to start building an ark. My house is fine but all around us is water. looks like an ocean with the house and new shop an island. Thanks for the understanding that I have my hands full. At the old shop, we are in now is in hurting condition too and we have spent yesterday and today trying to get back up dry and running. The roof vents all blew off and we have roof issues leaking. The roll up doors both blew off and they are installing new ones. This has been a hell of a 5 days for me. Sleep has been minimal and man, have we got water. No hurricane but out here 73 mph winds are mean. It toppled a 60 ft eucylipdus tree in my back yard missing the house but nailing the fencline and pool. Not to mention many other trees and fences. Blew one of my carports 60 ft 4 ft off the ground!! I watched it as it missed my truck. I still cannot believe what I witnessed. Whole nother issue at the house. Thanks to all of the TB.com team for stepping up to the plate and helping me out. I sure do appreciate it and will continue to.
I will be spotty over the next couple days and if you have an order with us, know we are doing everything we can do to just keep going. In a couple of days we should be back up to full capacity at the shop. The house, well......that will be a different story. Lots of damage there. insurance companies are backed up so we wait. At least the house didn't flood or get hit by a falling tree as alot have. So in turn, with all the nasty stuff that happened, we HAVE to consider ourselves lucky that the family are all ok and the house is still intact. Everythnig around it is a mess, but the house is still standing. The barn and animals did ok too. My child Kendra, Had gone to Reno for the New Year celebration with freinds and was trapped up in Reno as they were on hwy 80 coming down the hill when the huge landslide occurred. They were 8 miles above the slide when it hit. Thank you Lord!!! She was stuck in a hotel room in Reno for three days while they cleared the road. So it has been an eventful beginning to the new year.
Again, thank you all.

Here is the thread Joe put up.

Bruce,

As a multi-hurricane survivor let me wish you the best of luck and my thanks that all of your family members are safe and accounted for. If you need help, don't be too proud to ask!

Bruce, hang in there buddy. I remember the last time we talked you were starting your struggle against the water. That was late December. Renthorin is right, call Bill Cosby. he did a skit about Noah a LONG time ago. It might put a little humor where you're needing now. Be careful out there and I wish you all the best, Craig

Yea, I am sick of this crap!

That Bill Cosby routine was hilarious!. Man was that a long time ago. Made me laugh.
I am just so sick and tired of all the crap. No matter what I do, things just have not been falling my way ( Or actually they have such as the tree that landed and destroyed my pool, fenceline and window of the house, not to mention the blowing out of the doors at the shop.)
I am really tired and just do not really know where to go from here. If it isn't a problem here at the shop, I got one at home. After I put out the fire at home, then problems here. Just never ends. Just venting a little and will go on, but man, it is hard when you are down on things mentally.
I know it will pass but while it is happening, it sucks.
Anyway, thanks for letting me vent a little and back to work we go.

Pipe some of that water this way, we've had less than 1" of rain total since about mid Sept...most of the priarie land has went up in flames here and we went out to a local lake last week, went to the marina and all of the boats are setting in the dirt and you could not even see the water the lake was so dry. At the boat ramp, you can walk from it straight to the spillway on the sand.
You're getting all the rain thats not making it to us.

Heres how you do it...

11: Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence.
12: And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
13: And God said to Noah, "I have determined to make an end of all flesh; for the earth is filled with violence through them; behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14: Make yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch.
15: This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
16: Make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above; and set the door of the ark in its side; make it with lower, second, and third decks.
17: For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall die.
18: But I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.
19: And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.
20: Of the birds according to their kinds, and of the animals according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind, two of every sort shall come in to you, to keep them alive.
21: Also take with you every sort of food that is eaten, and store it up; and it shall serve as food for you and for them."
22: Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him.
