While the weather we had this past weekend was nothing like the tremendous tornado in Kansas, we did get some high winds gusting as high as 60 mph. Our 50+-year-old tree in the front road took a beating:
Ever since we moved into the house five years ago, we’ve always known the tree in the front yard would have to be significantly trimmed back—or eventually come down all together. Not only is there the risk of the entire thing falling on our roof and leaving a gaping hole in the house, it already yearly causes our main sewer line to back up. But taking care of the tree is not a cost we’re looking forward to. When I asked Roger what the deductible for our home insurance was, I stated that it might be cheaper for us to let nature take its course than pay for preventative medicine!
