"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"This photo makes me feel a little better about OUR Free-Falling-Tree-Onto-Roof-of-Home-Incident! Their damage looks even worse than ours! Of course I should post a photo of our calamity but it would be hard to get an angle that shows the extent of the damage. Besides, I'm a lazy photographer. I'm still in the stage of "thinking about" taking a picture versus actually making an effort to find our camera (which has usually been hijacked by Andie) and then figure out/remember how it works! Like I said.....lazy!
The bottom line is that we returned home from a trip to the Oakland Temple and found a tree limb (note that this limb was bigger than most trees) had landed on our roof and master bedroom deck and basically decimated the deck! It's a humongous mess! A where-do-we begin kind of mess!
If anyone had been sitting in the Adirondack chair they would be toast! If anyone had been outside Paige's bedroom they would have been right in the line of fire! The fence is completely dismantled! There's a gouge in the roof! All from one ginormous tree branch!
So the fun begins! Yesterday the insurance guy came out to assess the damage. We should soon see how comprehensive our home owners policy really is! In the meantime we had better have some major tree pruning done out back so the next storm doesn't bring down more limbs! We're lucky it isn't worse! Home ownership is always an adventure!
