<p><font size="4" face="Verdana">Thanks, Dave!</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Verdana">It was a bit exciting as we were in
the room where the tree fell. Luckily it appears that the house
is still water-tight despite a few shattered skylight panes.
Other than a chimney cap and skylights, we prob. won't be able
to assess the roof condition until the tree is removed. I'll
def. keep your tips in mind, thanks!</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Verdana">It is likely that a crane will be
required to remove this beastie as any heavy equipment would
have to traverse our septic tank/field - no bueno.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="4">Claims rep. will be out on Friday
to have a look - will know more after that meeting. Fingers
crossed.</font></p>

<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

moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">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>Good luck!</div>

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>
