We used to have a giant tree growing in the backyard of our house.
My husband was always worried that the tree was going to fall and ruin our house, but I refused to let him cut the tree down.
I am a tree lover, so I just couldn’t stand the thought of him having it taken down and turned into mulch. Well, it turns out that he was right and I was wrong, which of course is something that I hate to admit. We had a really big storm a couple of weeks ago and we ended up with the giant tree right on top of our house. It ruined our roofing and our gutters and I had to call a roofing company to have them come out and assess the storm damage and give me an estimate for roof repair. I didn’t know this, but you have to pay more to have emergency roof repairs done. I guess I should have known that it would cost more to have them come out and fix the roof after an emergency, but I was never planning on having our beautiful tree fall down on our house! You should hear my husband griping and complaining about the fact that I wouldn’t let him cut the tree down before this. I have to admit that we wouldn’t be paying for emergency roofing repairs if we had cut the tree down, but that’s all water under the bridge now. I can’t really help the fact that we’re going to be paying for all new roofing and gutters. I’m just glad that the roofing company offers a payment plan. There’s no way we could have paid for this roof repair all at once.
