[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 685376, member: 1963"] I love mature trees and messy gardens and all of that. When husband and I had our house in Chicago, we were on a tiny lot. We had an enormous spruce tree growing in the center of the back yard. One of our neighbors was over on a Friday evening. He'd been a "gardener" back in Poland, and told us the ol' spruce had to come down ASAP as a large part of the visible root system was dead and pulling loose from the ground. Fine. husband figured he'd call an arborist 1st thing Monday. Saturday afternoon it stormed. The tree came down alright. New screen porch. Half a new roof including beams, New windows for the "cat room" (upstairs bedroom)sundry siding. In general just a huge mess. Luckily, we had good insurance, but it took two weeks to get contractors out due to the amount of storm damage in the area. We did get someone out to board things up and put plastic over the damage on the back of the house and the roof. The weirdest thing was that a tree fell on our BFFs home in Milwaukee during the same storm and did a lot of damage. [/QUOTE]
