Just a matter of time

Well, it has finally happened. For the five years we've owned our house we've been waiting for the big pecan tree in our front yard to do something dramatic and devastating to our house. We've been wanting to take it down but the cost was prohibitive. Well, the waterlogged soil has started to give way and the tree has ever so gently leaned over onto our house. It had done some roof damage this morning but I'm worried that the winds of today will cause it to move more and do more damage. So far things have been pretty minor but I am worried. The thing is that there's not a thing I can do aobut it. We've got a call into a tree service but we're not the only ones with trees down and since ours isn't inside the house (yet) we're understandably lower on the priority list than some other people who are less fortunate than we are.

Now, how to pay for the deductable...hmmmm....

Thanks for reading.
