    It's crazy, the blast sucked everything toward it...siding and girls were sacrificial. We determined that the building structure were sound.

    That looks like the aftermath of the silicone plant explosion in Waukegan IL.
    A friend working down the road said it was deafening

    Oh I read it several times before I responded. I too will just skim read posts and respond way out in left field only to embarrass myself. I'm learning .:D

    30cc Poulan backpack blower. I heard an odd noise as I shut it down last weekend. Pulled it apart yesterday and fount the mount for the ignition completely snapped off the case. Oh well, I got 12 good years out of it.

    Dunno if you have Rural King stores in KC Chvymn99 , but they have very reasonably priced trucker straps.
    The only thing I'd wonder about is if the existing good braces maybe should have some reinforcement before tightening the strap(s)? Like maybe a 3-4' long piece of 2x4, or something like that placed on each vertical? Reason being is the possibility that the strap will try to buckle the good ones inward, maybe before pulling the failed one back into place? I see there is already a piece of Unistrut nearby the bad spot...:yes: (that stuff has gotten a lil spendy lately!)
