How'd ya'll fare the storm?
« on: 01/ 8/08 - 11:47AM »
Here's my truck after the golf ball sized hail hit just after 8pm last night.  Tore up the window screens on the front and side of the house and smashed the roof pretty bad, but no leaks yet.  My neighbor had their skylight smashed too.

I see mods on your Jeep in your future.

Gotta love it when you get to stick it back to the insurance companies.  >:D

I've noticed no damage yet. We had nickel size hail; jeep sat out in it and appears to be fine.

Got the estimate on the truck... $5200 and that's if they can do the Paintless Dent Removal to the fenders.

Estimator called about the house and we'll be getting a new roof and gutters.  He's allowing for new window screens, yard light, garage side lights, mailbox, insulation and paint to fix some water spots on the ceiling.  What a pain in the pooper!  But I was needing to put on a new roof soon anyway.

That's all I care about.

Christy said it's like Halloween around here with all of the contractors walking door to door offering free estimates.  Our roofer, Reliable Roofing, came by and patched my roof for me.  I didn't think he'd come back today as he had so many other jobs to bid, but it helps the owner is Christy's uncle. ;)

I just got my truck back.  Total was $6180 I think after they couldn't get some of the dents out with Paintless Dent Removal.

So what did they do to it?  Did they have to repaint any of it?

I lost a section of fascia today that will have to be replaced after the snow.
I cut sheetmetal for free.  It's fixing it that get's expensive.
