@@oldmanadventuringhey OM, just found your channel today, love what you're up to! I'm documenting Hell ene, also. So it appears folks doing so may ride through Chimney Rock. I'll bring some stuff to give away, too. I'd love to physically help move things, hammer, sweep, whatever is needed. Is there a way that can happen?
@@Allisillusion-z3f it’s a restricted area, however, they are taking volunteers into the area. What you’re allowed to do is reach out to the “Spokes of Hope” organization and I believe they have instructions on how to register for volunteer work on their site.
Thank you, I’m trying to get up there as often as I can to help and make more videos. I’ll be in some of the surrounding areas helping out and documenting with videos also.
From the the UK Iv come to love these people, great video update thank you! please never forget what happened here, these people will need help for years to come. ❤ wNC & e TN. ❤🙏🏻
I wish that the lumber mills that are below me here in central Mississippi would donate some lumber to all of the people in North Carolina to build new houses and help with the rebuild of the businesses in North Carolina but I guess I’m wishing for a miracle
Wish i was physically able to help there because i would sure already be there. Thank you to you and all the people helping our fellow Americans. That's what this country is and should always be about. Prayers for all. I will be bringing my family up there when it gets back up and running. The best of that town is soon to come. If there is anything about rebuilding now they can make it however they wanted it to be . God bless. I'm done stalking your channel sir. God bless
I went there about 10 or 11 days afterward and police were blocking access to the town( believe they still are from some directions) unless you have recognized legitimate business there. You cannot just go in there just to look/ passing through to somewhere else, and to get in the way. Folks that live there do not need that. Having to be doing work....work that they need.
So if its not accessible by car even if you get out of your car and walk around, find a way over the hill in there on foot, someone is going to stop and ask you how you even got here with the road blocked from car, what are you even doing here on foot or bicycle huh?
Not only homes but businesses were also affected!! Good to see some of the merchandise was salvageable but will be some time before customers will be able to return!!😢
Agreed, If they can get the main road rebuilt, they can probably start opening up a bit after utilities are in. The work on the river can go on while Chimney Rock is open. Just a mile back in Lake Lure, the little cafe and the Mexican restaurant are open for business.
Man that old condemend structure must be pretty stout built to take a blow like that and stay in tact. Good job to whoever built it. Water will tear up stuff you would never think it would. Prayers to all them folks and to the people that are there helping out. God bless you all. Great video man. Looking forward to future videos from you sir
@@vaughnhill3437 thank you for the kind words. They are much appreciated. There will be more videos however they may not necessarily be in the chimney rock liquor area, but they will be in Western North Carolina and cities like Rutherfordton, Forest city etc …. Basically anywhere else they need help.
We were able to get some of the racks out. I missed the last 30 minutes as I didn't go back after lunch. I don't know if they got more racks out. It would have had to fit through that window and some of them were too big for that.
Not judging you sir but even with more modern construction. If it would been undermined like the other half of it it would have failed too. Just saying. I have been there and it's amazing how the most pretty country takes a beating like that. Prayers for all. Glad too see they love it Enough to rebuild it. If I was healthy enough and had the funds I would be up there looking for a heavy equipment operator job to donate my time to. I just ain't able to do really physical work due to my health. I have a 35 year construction past employment

Get with the lumber mill. Ask them to contact orgs and maybe local road clearers. They have so many trees down. There maybe somewhere that would like to see them taken away to be sawed into lumber they can rebuild with to be donated toward the efforts. They could send a logging truck and loader. Don't disrespect any property or permissions you don't have. It could be a win win in some areas? The longer remnants could be stacked and left to cut for firewood for winter. Avoid areas it could be contaminated.-John's wife
This is awesome! Saving Bubba O'Leary's inventory plus explaining the engineering process old and new. -Fan of Bubba's.
Thank You! Its good to document what happened and show how good people come together to help out their fellow man.
Great videos man. I'm one of the guys doing the floor and I got your channel info at the lunch table. Great to see you documented it all.
Awesome, thanks! You guys rocked on those floors. Glad we could be a part of this and like you said ….. document it!

Please do more videos. It's much better than someone driving around in a car.
Thank you, I’m trying to get up there as often as I can to help and make more videos. I’ll be in some of the surrounding areas helping out and documenting with videos also.
I think that is wonderful that ya’ll can get all the merchandise out of the building for the owner
From the the UK Iv come to love these people, great video update thank you! please never forget what happened here, these people will need help for years to come. ❤ wNC & e TN. ❤🙏🏻
I’ve watched this video before but I watched it again it was really great that he could save all his merchandise

I love Bubba O’Leary. So respectful thank you for saving the merchandise. We have a music box from them.
Yes! God bless you all
Great video. I really enjoyed it. Pity about all the destruction
Ooh my ! So neat to see inside.
Thank uuuuuuu...
Awesome video, I love Chimney Rock
Wow I did not use powerful nail gun. So nice to see building almost done
Wish i was physically able to help there because i would sure already be there. Thank you to you and all the people helping our fellow Americans. That's what this country is and should always be about. Prayers for all. I will be bringing

Yep, correct. You’ll need to have legit business to be there .

@@bensanders7392 There have been people that I’ve seen that have walked into the area. But it’s a rare event.

@@oldmanadventuringgood to hear! It will take a very long time to bring some semblance of normalcy for these poor folks!!😢
Catastrophic destruction is unfathomable!!😢
I wish I had a Chimney Rock shirt

That's newer home also
Great job! But iisnt the owner going to need the racks and shelves too?
We were able to get some of the racks out. I missed the last 30 minutes as I didn't go back after lunch. I don't know if they got more racks out. It would have had to fit through that window and some of them were too big for that.
It's house next to it
The wooden Indian is gone? 💔
Yeah, no sign of the Indian.

I can see that, the newer side was fortunate. I would expect that they will get all of these buildings inspected for occupancy once they are ready.
