Title: I'm stressed Post by: sunshine on 04 19, 17, 10:01:23:AM Having the roof replaced due to hailstorm. So much pounding all over.
But.... Title: Re: I'm stressed Post by: emilyB on 04 19, 17, 10:44:00:AM That's rough having to do that when you have a practically brand new home. That must have been a darn heavy hail storm. More like a rock storm. Love your pic, so artistic. I see booths where photographers sell their pictures, at art fairs and street sales. Have you ever thought of doing that, Sun?
Title: Re: I'm stressed Post by: sunshine on 04 19, 17, 12:58:33:PM Yes, I thought about and that's as far as I get. LOL I would want a better camera if I am gonna sell anything.
Title: Re: I'm stressed Post by: takncarabizniz on 04 19, 17, 03:23:03:PM But the roof replacement should be covered by the homeowner warranty, right? I mean, what kind of roofing material did they use that it could not withstand a hailstorm? Your builder should be fully responsible, and you should ask your insurance agent about an inspection to insure they used the correct underlayment and backer board.
Our first home had a 25 year composite shingle roof and when the buyer did their home inspection, even after 15 years, the report said roof was in excellent shape with little deterioration...and we have some hellacious hail coming down in the Spring and Winter months. Title: Re: I'm stressed Post by: takncarabizniz on 04 19, 17, 03:23:47:PM And I agree with emily, your photos are definitely sales worthy...as is your wood art and painting decor.
Title: Re: I'm stressed Post by: sunshine on 04 19, 17, 04:06:36:PM Thank you, taken.
We had golf ball size, maybe smaller hail. It beat the granules off. And a builders warranty does not cover acts of God. My deductible is $500...new shingles, ice shield, gutters and down spouts, metal on the peaks and a patio top will all be covered. I bet at least 40 or more roofs had to be replaced. Title: Re: I'm stressed Post by: takncarabizniz on 04 20, 17, 03:36:53:AM Wow...that's a lot of damage.
Title: Re: I'm stressed Post by: sunshine on 04 20, 17, 05:07:12:AM Yep.....I have a target on my back ( roof ). Back in 2003, I had a tree fall in my old house and the house before that a lightening bolt blew the transformer in my AC and the house before that my house was struck and the garage door fell off the tracks. LOL
Title: Re: I'm stressed Post by: sunshine on 04 20, 17, 05:09:13:AM The inspectors showed up immediately upon completion of the roof.
Title: Re: I'm stressed Post by: luvtimes on 04 20, 17, 11:11:48:AM Oh wow Sunshine that's rough.
I see that you're being tested too. We all are... The bright side is that we all have our health , mind and spirit and insurance to get us to some of the hardest time. Well the back part of the yard must have had a field full of poison ivy. The day I wore short sleeves and shorts... Also the previous owner left a lot of shells from his rifle. the times that we are in ... something... Title: Re: I'm stressed Post by: sunshine on 04 20, 17, 04:06:29:PM If you can, get some Round Up for brush and poison ivy...works great killing that stuff.
