Hi Wolf! How are you doing??? Glad to see you tonight!
Hi Debi! It’s good to see you as well! I’m hanging in there and getting prepped for some major work to be done around the house. It’s time for a new roof and foundation repair. I’ve been both looking forward and dreading this. It’s going to be a mess shortly.
 
My favorite deer story is my husband and I driving into town and I see a deer coming in a direct line to intersect with our car. I'm going, "DEER!" And he yells back "WHAT?" I yell again, "DEER" and he yells back "I answered you, dear!" I finally said, "THAT DEER! BRAKE!" Finally, it clicked.

Oh boy...I hear ya on that. I need a new roof but that's not in the cards right now. At least it's just leaking over the bathtub! lol Hope the work goes quickly for you.

I have a leak as well from the tree incident last year. Gotta love insurance for that, but they wouldn’t have replaced the roof anyway. Good news is that the place is nearly paid off. But I still have to get it in my name and get it insured with anyone but Allstate.

Glad you've made progress on it all, hon. I have State Farm, but honestly, they're all about the same now. They really don't want to pay for anything if they can get out of it on a technicality.

I’m unsure of who to go with. If I had known that there was indeed a leak when the insurance agent came, they may have actually done something. But compared to other houses around here, we were lucky. We narrowly avoided disaster in late March when we were hammers by straight line winds. Numerous trees were uprooted and multiple roofs were damaged or destroyed. They were maimed.

We recently went through the night of tornadoes. We were lucky. We heard it forming over us, and it was able to be visibly tracked from the road in front of our house for several miles once it touched down. That was just waaay too close for comfort.

I've not had a problem with State Farm on minor stuff, but they are all cutting their coverage so check carefully for what any new policy does cover.

That’s next up at some point in the future. I’ll probably give the roofing contractor I’ve selected a call tomorrow. The foundation is next up followed by smaller repairs/enhancements/cosmetic work. It’s going to be so nice when completed.

Really so glad that is all coming together for you, Wolf! You've had one heck of a year or two!
