End of the Tree

1/3 of the giant 100 year old Chestnut tree behind our yard fell on the garage on Friday at 6pm. We have had a few wind storms over the past week and must have caused a crack. It caused quite a bit of damage to the garage. Some of the roof sheathing is cracked under the metal roofing, both skylights are destroyed, and the back eave is destroyed. Final bill from insurance is $13,811 including $3800 to remove the tree from our side. It was sad that it fell about 2 weeks after I declared the garage project done.

Doors Refinished

I finally found a few hours over the past few weeks (Raya time) to sand the doors and oil them. Mr. Shumate painted the eave beaded ply for us this week and I installed it today. Almost really done.
