August 31: Insurance is a Good Thing...at Least Today

The storm a few weeks back left three trees down, a broken fence and a snapped Invisible Fence. And, that's just the damage before I have the guys come out and take a look at our roof and siding. I know I've covered all of this in previous blogs, but I found it pivotal to summarize the history to this point as today when I opened the mailbox I found an insurance check sitting inside. This is the first claim we've ever filed since we've been in our current home, and only the second claim I've ever filed since becoming a homeowner in 2000. I have to commend the Insurance company on their speedy delivery of said services, as I figured it would take at least a few more weeks. Thankfully, we were dealing with just tree removal and some other minor things for now and not "Mayhem" from the new Allstate commercials! If you haven't seen these advertising gems, I highly recommend taking a look here.
