We drove home on the road that comes up behind our house. It's on a hill and plain as day, you could see a big ole tree was on top of my roof. FABULOUS!
My fence. My neighbor's tree.
Nice, huh?
So, I finally got the tree guys out here today. They had to wait for the crain to be available. Bless their little hearts. They worked soooo haard today.
Don't they look like they're working hard?? I mean they really worked up a sweat. I should've offered them a glass of tea or something. (Hubby piled up all the toys to mow last week in case your wondering if we make our kids climb on top of the table to ride in that car).
Does this picture look kind of funny to you? Here's the deal. I was unloading the dishwasher while they were out back working so hard. I was dying to take pictures so I could share this exciting experience with y'all, but I didn't want to get caught taking pictures. I didn't want them to think I was some kind of weird stalker lady who has a thing for guys with chainsaws or something freaky like that. So, I put the camera on top of a box in the window and as I was doing the dishes, I'd just push the button every once in awhile and take a picture. The pictures aren't great because they're taken through the screen and the window, but at least they won't see me taking pictures of them and think I'm completely NUTS!
CRAP! BUSTED! Now they think I'm a FREAK! Oh well! Maybe I should've suggested they take a dip in our fancy pool (the yellow one behind him) since they worked so hard. Nah. Then they would've really thought I was a freak!
So, anyway, they got the tree off the roof and now I'm literally waiting for the framer to get here to give me an estimate on fixing my joists, etc. that the tree broke - and roofer - and the fence guy - and the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker. FUN! So, I have done NOTHING cool and crafty to share this week....YET! But, I do have a project planned for the next few days. Fingers crossed.
Have a great day!
ugh!
ReplyDeleteKinda funny you were 'busted' taking pictures :)
LOVE the toys stacked up..my kids would have a good time climbing the table to get in the car - haha!
:( No. fun. Hope things settle down for you very soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that your neighbor has good home owner's insurance? That is a bummer....I'm so glad you are able to laugh and enjoy this weird happening! God gives us grace...to get through all the fun stuff!
ReplyDeleteFrom the looks of him, I think that guy is thinking "oh yeah, I know you like what you see!".
ReplyDeleteWhat a mess! If it makes you feel any better, a family from our church got a call while they were on vacation this summer that their house burned down!
I'm going to have to start with a hug and sympathy for the tree falling on your house. It's bad enough when it's your OWN tree.
ReplyDeleteBut can I have permission to laugh about being busted trying to take pictures? I'm still giggling as I type this because that was so funny!! That is exactly what would happen to me.
I guess we bloggers not only need to wear buttons, but our houses should have signs of disclaimer on them as well.
How about :"WARNING: Blog worthy activity will be monitored by surveillance devices"
Hope you get the framing done pronto!
I'm so sorry about your house. What a pain! My BFF has been living with her mom since June when a tree fell through her roof into her computer room. Her house is condemned!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a tree...good luck.
