Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable. We woke up this past Saturday thinking it was going to be just another Saturday spent keeping the house clean in case someone wanted to come see the house. Around 10 a.m. our neighbor Katie came by and informed us that we had a tree sitting on our house. That’s right….a tree.
As it turns out our other neighbor’s tree had uprooted due to the recent rains and fell onto our house while taking another smaller tree with it for the ride. As frustrating as this was considering the fact that our house is on the market, we are fortunate in that it creeped onto our house instead of falling and slamming into causing more damage. At least we think it creeped onto the house as we never heard it hit the house.
Now the neighbor whose tree it was hasn’t been living in their house for over 8 months now so we had to track them down via the Internet to let them know. Luckily they quickly appeared and had a company up within a few hours to have the tree removed. Now we have to wait for the insurance company to show up and let us know what they will cover and how much of the roof needs to get replaced. What a mess!
So the question we are left pondering after all of this is was this a message from God to move to the new house, or is it’s Murphy’s way of telling us to stay put. What do you think?
