Well a massive ice dam on the gutters of the house has resulted in the entire gutter on half of the house coming down -- smashing through the greenhouse roof, and leaving a 3 foot shard of glass sticking out of the hot tub cover like a javelin.
Along with the gutter coming down in a spectacular fashion, a small section of the fascia boards has been torn away as well.
On the upside, my roofer is a very good friend and an honorable man who does excellent work. He and his family have been in the roofing business in Northern Virginia for over 110 years. At least I do not have to worry that the repair will be done right, or that I will be price-gouged, or that it will fester on someone's "to do" list until June! Of course, the work will not be free. Now let's see if home owner's insurance will cover any or all of it.
In other fun bits of news, my daughter's car needs about $1,200 worth of repairs. Guess who's paying for that? Not me! The car is not worth that much, so it's a total loss and we will have to find some way of getting her a new (used) car.
