A Year in Review- March

A wind storm took part of our roof off- funny how little that was compared to what was coming
Jack learned to ride his bike......

Without training wheels!! This was an unusually warm March Saturday.

The storn take 5- Our house :-(

Take note on the pictures with trim how the hail stipped off our paint like sandpaper! We will be getting a new roof, new windows, new gutters, new shutters, the house painted, the garage fixed, all new carpet in every room and the porch, new flooring in the kitchen and playroom, paint for the inside of the house, in addition to all the personal items we lost. We lost our loveseat, olivia's toybox contents and clothes, some of our clothes and some new clothes we just bought for school, our bedding and pillows, all the toys in the playroom, most of the toys in the outdoor play area - just to list some things.

Just part of our roof.
Our poor gutters.

Something must have hit the back of the garage. Also notice the broken out vent on top.


The puckered up tin that lines our sides of our roof


Our furnace vent pipe. It used to be alot smaller and more circular






Kitchen Window. Notice the gutters above it!

View From the back of the house.





Our attic vent. This cause water to leak in our bedroom ceiling.








Luckily we had wood siding so we just got a few holes like this.








Our new airconditioner we put in on Father's Day. The adjuster said the back looked like tin foil.















The storm take 4 - Outdoors

Part of our tree resting on the power lines


This is across the street. All the apples and pears lying on the ground now.





Our play area


The neighbor across the street. We are glad we don't have vinyl siding!




The hail outside our house








The Strm Take 3- The bedrooms

Olivia's clothes we were told to get rid of.
Some of her things that were sitting on the floor below the window

The top of Olivia's toybox. The lid was open and the wind broke the back hinge.


Her shade is closed but you can see the curtain blowing in the wind.
