I plan on having tee shirts to give to those who donate money to help me get back on my feet.

Hi Billy,
Keep smiling despite the mess, you'll be back bigger and better than ever. It's surprising what people can deal with and get over. The floods in Qeensland a couple of years ago were a prime example. 2/3 of the State was under water. When it went down people just got stuck in and cleaned up. People came from all over the country to help out and millions were donated. A similar thing will happen in your neighbourhood. My prayers for those that lost everything.

Hello Billy.

Keep up your spirits(Beer,Wine, Hard stuff).

I've had to re-do my shop(due to Huricanes) 3 times now and have yet to completely finnish it.

Good Luck and Keep knocking on it.

Bob,

New Bern, NC.

Billy,
How do I donate? Is there an account set up somewhere or do I just send a check to you? Are you getting mail?
Don

Billy,
My heart aches, when I see the destruction.
I am just happy that you are safe and unhurt.
Even though it takes time and money - everything else can be replaced.

Be safe
Roger

Oh man, tell me you have flood insurance.

I was wondering the same as Don. Guessing Billy has PayPal for NERBS and XLRods, what about a personal account. Don't want to mess up personal donations with business accounts.

Hi Billy. I'm glad you are okay. I'm so sorry for your loss. We had some moderate damage here in Central, PA, and there was one recorded death because of a falling tree.

How can I help you? Where can I send money?

Bruce

Hey Billy dont know what to say.That sure is some mess you have got there.But moments like this bring out the best in people and some times the worst (looters).

As Col said after the floods in QLD everyone just got in and pitched in and helped didnt matter if you knew the person or not.You get to meet a lot of neighbours you
would never normally meet.

Seems like you have the right attitude love the need beer sign.

Look forward to seeing photos of your new shop.Keep your chin up.

Billy, My heart and prayers are with you. Your perspective and reading your posts about helping others when you needed it just shows your integrity. You do amazing work and no matter what the storm takes from you, it can't take the talent and knowledge you have. That will be the seed you need to regrow. Best of luck and godspeed.
