Storm update!!

It was not just a storm, but definitely a tornado.  We had our power restored Friday afternoon (after I stalked Com-Ed).  Our downed wires were finally disconnected and removed on Saturday (after I stalked another Com-Ed truck). Trees were mostly removed on Saturday. Internet & cable back on Sunday.   Life is slowly getting back to semi-normal. 

The claims adjusters for the car & our house both came out today. 

My car had close to $4000 worth of damage, according to our claims guy.  That was more than $1000 over what our highest estimate was    Our claims guy found a couple of spots that the body shops didn't. 

The house...  they are covering everything, including 2 new fences (a fence guy was there at the same time our adjuster was, and talked him into 2 completely new fences) instead of just repairing the fences!!

Wow... what a week!   We still have a ton of work to do, but knowing so much of it will be covered by insurance is a huge relief. I currently love our insurance company. Even though our adjuster was kind of a pain to get a hold of last week,  he was great today (he was without power at both his house and his office!) Anyone who is just buying a house- Erie Insurance is great!!  Our neighbor still hasn't spoken with a human at his insurance company.   He said his insurance company's slogan is still true- if your definition of a good neighbor is a neighbor that completely ignores you

  I am just SOOO glad DH talked me out of painting our bedroom two weeks ago... b/c that is the wall that will need to be repaired on the inside!
