Real life intrudes.

Real life intrudes.

My house was damaged by high winds and hail recently, and I have been sorting out the "contractor" situation.

That sounds unfortunate, my condolences.

Well, considering it was golfball size hail with 100mph sustained winds for over an hour (the kind that levels houses on the coast), I think the damage I sustained is pretty minor, especially in light of what occured right next door, and the fact that mainstreet looked like a riot went through town.

Order has been restored, power back on, all that jazz.  Recent torrential rains have stressed the local insurance companies extensively with flooding claims, but thankfully I did not get that particular present from mother nature. It did however, delay my insurer from delivering my itemized claim form. I barely got it last week. I am currently sizing up different local contractors.

Unless my sense of perspective is way off, that looks like a very close call for next door.

No, your sense of perspective is not wrong. You can see the exact same tree in the background of the picture of my wobbly porch awning.

It was a very large juniper tree. Blown out of the ground, and nearly landing on their roof.

Not pictured was the "Driveby shooting" appearance of the neighbor's northern exposure. Mother nature apparently hangs out with the bad kids.
