dang man! glad no body was hurt! thank goodness for home owners insurance...even tho insurance will cover it I know how this sort of thing throws a wrench in everything,that major ice storm we had last winter did a bunch of damage to my property including a big arse tree limb crashing through our roof. mother nature can be a beotch.

Update: on Tuesday a contractor came and with my limited help removed the chimney from our roof, and tarped over the roof and screwwed boards to secure the tarp in place.
The insurance adjuster is due on friday morning and hopefully bu next week this time some or all of our repairs will either be completed or at the very least started. We have done extensive cleanup after taking pictures and itemized a list of all damaged items with value links attached. I burned the list and pictures to a CD for the adjuster. He sounded grateful when I told him what we'd done all ready.

I plan a thread later on surviving the insurance and cleanup of natural idsasters. Just to share the wisdom gained from this experience. Also relating how our plans and preperations faired in all this.

I don't know how I missed this thread, but I'm glad that there were no injuries and that the damage will be covered by your insurance. Seems God was looking out for you all that night.

Thanks for your planned posting. Any of us might someday need it as a guide to what to expect.

Blessings,
Bill

The Mrs here checkng in. The appraiser came out Friday morning and we are still waiting on the appraisal of the damage so we can get a contractor out here. We already have someone in mind. The entire roof is going to have to be replaced. In the meantime, we are sleeping on the couch (me) and on the floor (Mr.) in the livingroom.

A contractor came out at the request of our LOCAL insurance agent. We removed the chimney from the roof, and covered the hole properly. So on that front we're ok.

The adjuster came out and said there is damage all over the entire roof surface and will need replaced, the deck and the bedroom trusses and support will need replaced.

The actual getting to it and the numbers game has just begun though.

I keep a very watchful eye on the storms.

We've moved our chuildren around and took one of their rooms so we all have beds and although a mess everything is starting to work out.

I still plan on a surviving the storm post but it looks like this is going to take awhile.

Any news?

Hope it is working out, and Glad no one was hurt.

Best of Luck to you and yours.

Still waiting on the apraiser to do his paper work so the approval can go through so we can get stuff done. We are no further along than we were 10 days ago.

And, I am getting angry over it.

Don't blame you, the process can be very frustrating. Call as often as needed.
