If there was on branch on that limb that I was afraid might cause significant additional damage, I might do a little trimming on that. I don't see anything like that, so I'll wait for the professional and let Geico pay for him! |

As far as going on my roof at 77 not going to happen. I live rural at the end of over a 1/4 mile long driveway and on occasion a tree or a large branch falls and blocks the driveway. Depending on what my schedule is I either just cut enough to get through, or if I have the time I do the job from start to finish. I have also been known to hook up a chain to my tractor an pull the offending tree out of the way and do the cutting later! |

No doubt, I'm the fat guy in the blue on the right, giving one little push and then backing away as fast as I can, letting Porter take the wrath of that murdered tree. I is smart!
Wait, you mean, you are supposed to use a wood chipper to chip "wood"? You mean like 2x4s? Why would anyone do that. What good is a chipped up 2x4? |

Met with adjuster this morning, he is off adjusting. Met with tree guy at 1 pm, he will be back on Wednesday to remove the limb. Frustrating that the thing has been on my house for more than 6 days now, but I am finally getting some progress.

In '96 the Great Ice Storm hit Mayland and I lived in the only house on a cul-de-sac in a new subdivsion and my house was two miles from the only entrance... The loblolly pines got loaded with ice in the branches and fell or snapped in half like rifle shots, my neighbor and I took two days to chain saw the road out of the subdivision and the area lost power for 14 days.
3 40' trees landed on the house and I chain-sawed them off myself. But no more. I thought getting old would take longer. |

Let's see how the three stooges fare helping Zeek take out his Neighbor's unsightly boat lift. $10BB says Zeek gets launched into the canal, Porter jumps in to save him, but doesn't drop the chainsaw and drowns, while Mick is on shore walking around in a circle. the neighbor grabs a cold beer.

In FL getting paid for a smaller HO INS claim is tougher, as most policies will have a 2% or 3% deductible, so is your dwelling coverage is $500K, you pay at least the first $10K of damages.
I have seen this change from a $1,000 deductible to where it is now, you can blame fraud and insurance adjusters for the current situation. I think this will only get higher in the future, as no HO INS company claims to make money in FL, and one major storm in a highly-populated county will bankrupt over 50% of the carriers. |
