<div dir="ltr">Tim,<div><br></div><div>So sorry to hear. As someone who has had a similar experience (sans radio equipment), I would take pictures of everything. Make sure to take many close-up pics as well, showing lack of mold or rust (or other moisture issues). Check all walls and ceilings in the whole house for small cracks, which may get larger over time. Ensure that your roof is repaired with the same ventilation as it had before, including plumbing vent pipes and soffits. Unfortunately, small corners that are cut now may cause bigger problems later.<br><br>I used Greenleaf for the tree removal (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/greenleafstreeservice/">https://www.facebook.com/greenleafstreeservice/</a>), but it looks like Rich sold his tree service business. It may be worth calling him anyway, 978-888-1715. His crew did an amazing job. The cost to get the equipment there was incredibly expensive, which insurance covered, but I took advantage of him being there to take other trees down that were future risks at a great price.</div><div><br></div><div>Good luck!</div><div><br></div><div>Dave KC1TLF</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Dec 3, 2025 at 9:49\u202fAM Tim - K1DC via bars <<a href="mailto:bars@w1hh.org">bars@w1hh.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><u></u>

<p><font size="4" face="Verdana">We've lived here in the woods for
~25 years with only a few minor 'falling tree' incidents...
until yesterday.</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Verdana">A large oak decided it was a good
day to die, breaking off at the base and falling onto our deck
and roof. In addition to significant damage to our deck and
skylights the _real_ painful bit was the loss of my 2M yagi,
2M/70cm vertical and my 40M EFHW. It also ripped the coax cable
entry box off the wall and pulling the coax WAY tighter than it
should be. That damage is yet to be assessed. Needless to say
I'll be QRT for awhile. ;-(</font></p>
