October 12: Siding

You may recall, that back in late August, we had a tornado rip through our neighborhood. Since then, I've had several conversations with the insurance company, their Adjusters, the home improvement company they put us in touch with, and the guy we're working with from the home improvement company. In the end, turns out we had damage to our roof and siding, as well as the shutters, trees and wires that were much more obvious following the storm. This evening, we met with our contact from the home improvement company and selected the tiles we wanted for the roof. In addition, and for the first time in my life, my wife and I selected vinyl siding. In the process, I found that there is much more to siding than I ever thought. Different styles, a lot more colors than I would have expected, and more to think about then them just slapping it up on our house. Anyway, looks like the new roof will go on in a few weeks, with the siding to follow a week or so after.
