First Day of Summer Storms

Print
During the first severe storm of the summer, a huge, tall tree (about 50 feet tall) was pushed into our house.  Thankfully, it hit the corner of the house/roof.  If it was angled 5 feet to the north, it would have taken out both of our cars!  We still are concerned because the tree is hovering over our teenagers' bedrooms.  They get to enjoy "camping" in the basement until the tree is removed.



Now the fun begins as my husband is on the phone with the insurace company and tree services.  We need to have this removed as quickly as possible, so we can cover the damage with a tarp until the repairs can be made.

  5. The tree was finally removed after 7 days! Now we are awaiting the approval for a new roof from the insurance company. Apparently, we had hail damage on the roof, too. We'll see what happens! For now, we have a beautifully blue-tarped roof!
