Hey Trey....i have almost no lips as well....arrrghh My mom's house is the same as mine construction wise...twice back in the 1960's , we had cars driven by drunks hit our front porch and living room walls. The wooden porch poles broke but the wall stopped the cars dead... Our walls are 10 inches thick and tough to drill through for cable and camera feeds. prayers sent to my fellow Texans...
