My friend's house (you know, the one a tree fell on) one room completely destroyed and the roof is pretty much a total loss. Surprisingly, the whole house isn't considered a loss.
They are telling him that the house won't be fixed until April/May next year.The other bad news he got, the tree that lost the limb, it has to come down. It's a 100 ft tall Maple or Oak (not sure which). He's been quoted $15K and insurance isn't covering it.
I've seen trees cut down to stumps, and they grow back. Lost massive limbs from the top, to the point of "just cut it down".
Which is a massive shock, but you can literally just trim the tree down, leaving the smaller limbs if any and it will grow back.

I'm not sure if it's mostly dead or not, but the tree guys are saying it's rotting from the inside out, and is now an insurance liability. Their insurance company has told them that they will not cover any more claims based on damage from this tree because the tree is in a known bad state. It needs to come down, even if only to grow again later.

Time to break out the lawyers. WTF are they paying house insurance for if they're not going to cover crap like this?

Almost all home owners insurance don't cover damage from rotten trees, especially after repeated issues with the same tree.

This is my point. The company should have had the tree cut down the first time it wrecked the house.
My folks had to get lawyers involved to get a tree removed from their yard before it destroyed the house.

The home owners may have opted to not have the tree cut down or the insurance didn't make it clear the tree needed to go.
If the latter than the insurance should be forced to pay for the removal. But I doubt the home owners asked enough questions.

Getting packed as we are driving down to Houston this morning. Spending the holiday week there.

Just read that SW just canceled SW London. Although I can not say I am surprised.

This is the first time - I'm not sure who should be responsible for paying to remove the tree. I see both sides of this.
I guess it's like having bald tires on your car. Your insurance company will pay for the first accident, but if it's blamed on the bald tires, I'm thinking the insurance company will tell you that YOU the owner have to pay to get new tires or else they won't insure you.

In my friends case, this is the first damage from the tree.

Have I mentioned that I don't like the MS Surface?? While it's a good idea in thought,.. the application is crappy.
It's slow,.. lags, 'hangs' up and I have had to boot it twice. I really miss my three monitors, real keyboard and mouse. Ah well, On to more important things
Ison:
It's been a night of it as I think I said earlier. Was up for about 20minutes or so every hour since 10pm last night. But he was moving fluid which is good.
Today we have pass some other things,.. and we are allowed to remove a bag and maybe even a full pole. We had two poles with six pumps going. They were:
- "food"
- Lipds (food)
- Maintenance
- Meds
- Antibiotics
- PCA - Patient Pain control
So we are working on mile stones.. While we are not expected to go home this week,.. we are doing good.

Almost ready to get in the minivan and drive south.

Thanks for the full update! Sorry you got stuck with the surface.

'Good' Morning all - And 'Happy'Monday...
Well we are past the weekend,... and a new week begins. Parental duties are 'split' for the next few as the other two need to be shoo'ed off on the bus at 7am. I am sill here at the hospital,..having left for just a few hours on Saturday to retrieve the Surface from @Minion-Queen and attend to a few other things.
Progress has been 'decent' though he is getting more rest than I am at this point. We were up about once an hour since 10pm last night. I'm so glad that he is able to rest.
They cut back on his fluids, removed the EEG lines, and the blood pressure cuff is only as needed now. He is other wise doing pretty well for being a six year old doing this.
time to see how the day goes... yawn
You're a good man Mr Jacobse.
