Raise the Roof

Please stop bobbing your head singing the Luke version to Raise the roof in your head. This blog post isn’t about dancing and fun times, but is about raising the roof in a more literal sense. As in get your arse on a ladder and raise some of those shingles on top of the house…dance to that.

Got a letter from Allstate last week, that as of some date in September our Homeowners Insurance policy would be terminated unless we made some repairs to the siding on our house and get this the roof. For real, you send this to me last week and September is a few weeks away. Called Sean Buckley’s office…nicely, I have you. Questioned the intent of the letter and wouldn’t you know the information on it was accurate.

Hmmm…now what. We need a new roof. What to do, what to do? Welp, just a bit perturbed at the fact that my next door neighbor whom my son hits his house throwing the ball..he’s that close to us, got his replaced by Allstate for hail damage but we got denied. Shaaaaaaaaaady!

Not worried. You know me, too cool for that. We have money saved away and if need be we will have to touch it..don’t want to, but its there and I’m thankful. However, I have faith that God will fix it and when the adjuster comes back out, they will approve our claim and we can keep our rainy day fund in tact.

This is the first major improvement we have had to make to the house in 5 years. Have you had to make any home repairs. All horror stories welcomed. Make sure to tell how it worked out for our Debbie downers out there to understand that no matter how much you stress, things ALWAYS work out just how they are supposed to 🙂

..and just in case you are at your desk and need a little pep in your step….
