storm

I suppose on a more positive note though Grog, at least you won't be short of logs for any wood burner you may have for the next few years - and helps get some revenge on the tree for falling on your property!

That sounds horrific glad your all OK

[owen426]

That's no good mate, sorry to see it and hope it all work out for you.

Maybe you should investigate why you are only runing on two first 

[grog]

Hows progress Grog. Hope things are happening on the repair front.

[grog]

thanks kiwi, appreciated. house tarped up, power back. everything worked perfectly inside, electric i mean, tvs computer etc. now have a operations manager, good bloke. everything goes thru him. wait now for builders appraisal, maybe engineers. have found doors not closing, cracked tiles, out of level windows. i think house is still moving, doors opened sunday but not now. wait n see now. told no re building/repairs until late january at least. just heard a big bang on roof, just hope its safe. nice to get a ride in today.

Thats good that the house is weather tight. Its a bugger of a time of year to try and get anything done. Àt least you are able to still live there so you can maintain some normality over xmas and the new year.
You must have enjoyed your ride, always so good to clear the head after a bit of drama.....hope the sugars are back to normal. Thanks for the update. 

[Sweaty]

Hope things head in the right direction for you Grog.

How you managing at home with the tree damage.  Got thru xmas all good l trust.

[grog]

thanks for caring kiwi, really appreciated. nothing has happened with repairs, xmas time. me and neighbour have cleared all tree stuff from side/front of house. they just didnt come back. phones turned off. i carted all the tree stuff myself, from front nature strip to across road. over 30 degree day, totallt wrecked me. that arvo neighbours son came, we cut n cleared most. biggest prob is no front gutters, lots of storms, water just washing dirt / garden beds away. they can pay me for time spent and garden re newal. hoping for some action soon. house looking good, doing my usual stuff. just annoying when i sit down for a beer, its wrecked.

hopefully you'll get something  sorted soon and your life back to a more normal asap.

[grog]

old story. my house flattened 9th december. well today, only around 10 weeks later, actually got a call from insurance company. only after i went ballistic on phone. nothing has happened, still tarp on roof, gutters are stuffed. fences still down. have made numerous phone calls, left messages. so over it, really does my head in. left out to dry. i live in australia not south pole. patience i have, not anymore. have taken 3 direct debits for cover since storm, very cranky now. now have phone numbers for ombudsman and tv crew.

[seth]

Thats a crazy wait buddy. 
No wonder you went bonkers i hope you get something sorted and life back to some kind or normality asap
