Hey everyone. I just bought a fixer upper on the hood canal for a wekend get away and thought this would be a great place for information. I have already used this site for framing questions and it was extremely helpful. I look forward to proffessional comments on my "Do It Yourself" requests for help.

30 years ago today, Hood Canal Bridge had that sinking feeling | Weather Blog | Seattle News, Weather, Sports, Breaking News | KOMO News (http://www.komonews.com/weather/blogs/scott/39577647.html)

The Hood Canal (http://bit.ly/PnHaMt) :)

The Hood Canal is a fjord... who knew??Some of the deepest in the world, that's why the Navy has quite a few known and more unknown/uncounted nuclear subs based there in Bangor. Worked there in the early eighties for a sub-contractor doing concrete work. The Super for the base said at that time there is more underground that isn't visible than what people see above....Kinda like NORAD-West. Between Fort Lewis/McChord and Bangor, Washington State is a LARGE target.
