Storm Trouble

Although we were able to get the half-dead tree down before the storm arrived on March 2nd, we ran into trouble from the pine trees.

The first hit was a big limb that came down on the Well House roof.  Here's a photo from during the storm...

The roof on the building is 100 years old and slate.  Not going to be fun to get that replaced! 


Here's a photo of it from behind the Well House... you can see the pointy branch on the pine tree, where the limb broke off.

The next hit was a huge pine tree that was behind the big barn.  It sideswiped the building- luckily not a direct hit, but it did knock it off kilter.



Another storm was scheduled to be coming through (will spring ever arrive?!?), so we had to quickly get the hole in the roof covered so it doesn't mess up the recently finished gym!

We have our work cut out for us... weekends full of chopping those trees up and trying to schedule the insurance guy, roofer, and a structural engineer.  

This was not a part of our spring plans!
