More facts for ya, the masonry would not support boards from the outside, so they said f*** the windows, we'll save the rest of the store from a massive cleanup.

Nice try but there are MANY ways to anchor anything to masonry. We do it all the time. Nevermind the fact that if the windows blow out the entire inside of the store would be blasted moisture therefore pretty much making the plywood a mute point. Thats an example of Aggy ignorance or lazyness, you decide.

Just showing you what the reasoning was behind it. There is no doubt a way to mount the boards to the outside, but apparently they had to think of something immediately. Mind you, this was 6 years ago and since then they have devised a way to mount the boards to the outside SHOULD a hurricane ever hit CS.

The shop's windows will not support the weight of plywood screwed into the frames. Neither is there sufficient masonry wall surrounding them for an attachment.
But again, not sure why I am saying this because everything A&M does is dumb aggy logic.
