Our roof had to be replaced due to a leak and hail damage last year, but thankfully it was covered by insurance, except for the deductible. I'm sure all of our rates will go up in this area, though. It was expensive...around $16k.Tardevilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415443004772031661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-89989015077375007342013-07-16T14:18:38.263-05:002013-07-16T14:18:38.263-05:00Your deck looks just beautiful!

Funny (well not funny for you with the damage) you mentioned hail. We were just in NM a couple of weeks ago, and some place close to Albuquerque had over 6" of hail which caused some major damage -- collapsed carports & other buildings. The news showed people in shorts and tank tops out shoveling the stuff off their roofs! We don't get hail too often here, but we do get haboobs!An Oasis in the Deserthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775583025686145582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-4364413831951365372013-07-16T02:12:09.649-05:002013-07-16T02:12:09.649-05:00Love seeing all your pretty things, Debra!Love seeing all your pretty things, Debra!Jeanette@Creating a Life Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16717273896278612876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-59672850972319514532013-07-16T01:32:25.921-05:002013-07-16T01:32:25.921-05:00I love it all.

That's why you pay for insurance...and also get 3 to 5 quotes before your insurance adjustor comes to look at the damage, so you can give him a COPY.<br /><br />We filed a claim 3 years go after we had storm damage and they paid for a new roof and new roof on the garage...to protect their investment of the house...do it!!! All we had to pay was our deductible.<br /><br />Check the roofers references (ask them for dates of the install they did too, you don't want a 9 year old reference) check the better business bureau, and ask relatives, friends and don't be afraid to knock on doors....Good luck!!Christine @ Rustic-Refinedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062085942305276829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-69566479261305514512013-07-15T07:44:09.340-05:002013-07-15T07:44:09.340-05:00Debra,

I have the old Singer Sewing machine stand on my back patio. Mine is needing another coat of black paint to go with the piece of black granite I salvaged for the top. I also have a bird cage on top and am looking for a couple other small items to go with it. Absolutely love the chair and the whole composition of your corner. Your new flowers are looking great and should get you through to fall unless you have another one of those bad old hail storms.
