More Bad Luck At The Compound

I have more bad news to report from The Compound.  Early Thursday morning, we had a brief thunderstorm move through.  Unfortunately, during the storm lightning hit our Neighbor Nick's humongous tree, and an equally humongous branch fell on the front corner of our garage.  Fortunately Neighbor Nick worked all afternoon getting the tree and all cleared away.  Now we are having to get quotes from carpenters and roofers to fix it.  

We are going to get quotes from contractors first, and then compare their prices, and then I will contact our homeowners insurance company and find out what our deductible is, and then see which would be the best way to go.  We don't need the entire roof replaced - just the front corner, maybe a four foot square piece, but there will be some carpentry work involved. 

So we are in a holding pattern now - waiting for calls back from the many people I called today.   Over all, I am thankful that the damage was just on the corner of our garage instead of on our house. 

Stay tuned.
