I hate it whenever insurance companies do this, they aren't what they use to be.
They use to really be there to help back when I was younger, but now, they have so many loop holes to get out of everything, it isn't even funny!

Maybe you two can do a block party. Set up a time on a pretty day, get the neighhood men folk (and women) together at your house.
The women can do up a big cookout while the men folk put shingles on the roof

It's gonna be up to us more and more in the future than it use to be in the past.
Forget the insurance companies anymore, they will never be there for you now like they should, like they use to be once upon a time.

You are in my thoughts and my prayers

I'm sorry about the insurance company. Thank goodness your husband and your son could replace some shingles. It does seem that we are thrown back on ourselves more and more these days.

You all are in my prayers.

Yeah, for DH it was a learning experience. He had never done any roof work before becasue he is uncomfortable up high. Son#1 is fearless so that helped. DH is upset because of the job thing and now this. I have updated my resume again and am looking as well.

Selena I am so sorry to hear this. I know if its not 1 thing its 10. We need a new roof too and the estimates are 9000 bucks. Needless to say we still don't have a new one. You are in my thoughts and prayers. It's wonderful your husband and son were able to fix some of it. Love and hugs to you honey.

Sorry to hear about your insurance company. Hope thing get better for you and your hubbie.

Our insurance guy is coming out friday to check out our roof.
Hope I have better luck. We have a chance for more thunder boomers with hail on Saturday.

Bad news - We need a new roof.
Good news - The insurance company is paying the bill. And Hubbie has a little shed in the back yard they gave us money to replace it cos' it has dents in it from the hail. We didn't even think of the shed.
So, we are starting to have people come out to get estimates..
One is coming today, on Easter!!

That is good news Miss Kitty, I know you must have been holding your breath til they said yes.
You have a good insurance company, most of them wouldn't have even mentioned the building.

Serena · MANIA MOD

Miss Kitty, am keeping you all in my prayers. Good luck with the roofing project.

Sorry to hear you have to get a roof, the deductible is probably high enough! Glad the insurance co. agreed to pay. Who do you have?

Miss Kitty · MANIA MOD

State Farm- $500 deductible on both the house and truck..
The lady called and said that she would make it later in the day because it rained in the morning hubbie told her to call him on his cell. She never called and never showed up. Check them off our list.

Ever since we had the hail storm we have been getting fliers in th mail and on the door. So going to start to call people today. We have up to 2 years to replace the roof.. So no big hurry. Not leaking yet..

We were looking though the fliers and some of them said that they are not storm chasers. I said to hubbie then why did we get a flier on the door, now after the storm??
