We've had quite a bit of a storm here this last week. I didn't go home on Wednesday or Thursday but when I popped in quickly to pick up some stuff on Friday this is what I found. Seems the big ole pine tree couldn't take it anymore and gave our garage a big hug. Underneath that tree is the old mailbox that got creamed twice by the highway, that thing's a magnet for disaster! At least it pulled the tree toward the garage, it could have been a lot worse and hit the house.
The tree snapped when it hit the garage, still it's twonked the dormer pretty good and jacked that half of the roof and snapped off our stovepipe chimney.
It also jacked the cyclone fence and did some damage to the garage doors too. Nothing too bad.
Amazingly there wasn't any water damage inside the studio above the garage! I nailed up some tarps and everything still seems good.
Because we hadn't complained to our neighbor about the tree it has to come off our insurance and we have a $1K deducible :(
We're working hard on getting it all tidied up and fixed up as soon as possible before it starts raining again. I got to play with my chainsaw for a bit and the people renting the house where the tree used to live came down and chainsawed a lot of stuff too.
