Timber

As many of you are aware, the East coast experienced high winds yesterday.  We received several frantic calls in the afternoon that our neighbor's massive tree had fallen into our yard and damaged our house. Pictures speak a thousand words...


Our backyard before...

Our backyard today...

Neighbor's 100 foot + Tulip tree fell directly into our yard - the entire
block is still without electricity

It looks like a bomb went off in our backyard

The covered porch is totally destroyed, the bay window is damaged
and the upstairs bathroom window was blown out

At least the Weber grill survived undamaged

There is some damage in the house - this is the breakfast
room.  There are also about 12 holes in our attic roof, one
in our bedroom and one in the library

Most importantly, my Mom, Dad and the dogs are all fine.   Mom was in the house, but in an area that was not damaged.  Thanks to our friends in the neighborhood, our insurance broker Charlie Spencer and our contractors, Mariotz Construction, who all rushed over to immediately help.  You're the best!!


No doubt we will be dealing remotely from London, as well as Mom and Dad on site, with the reconstruction over the next few months.
