Kevin and Michael have just finished assembling the pool table in time for Hurricane Jeanne. We got to play on it until 10 pm that night before it got too stormy to play. Then we covered it up. Despite getting about 2 inches of water on top of the cover, it dried out well and had no permanent damage. September, 2004
