The wake of the storm uprooted trees, damaged homes, and took out power lines all over the state. Here in Dayton 300,000 customers were out of electric starting on Sunday and as of today (Thursday) there are still 90,000 customers in the dark. Luckily, Husband and I were restored a mere 26 hours after it went out in our neighborhood. Husband never really felt the effects of any of it though since he was in BG teaching and the power was back up before he returned home. Now he's complaining about the lack of cable and internet, but he's just being a brat. It could be much much worse!
We honestly came out relatively unscathed. The tree in our front yard that tends to drop branches if you so much as look at it surprisingly did not sustain any damage. We do have a few loose shingles that need to be repaired and the dormer widow in our bedroom has a piece of siding hanging...
This has got me thinking... Maybe we should put up new siding? The siding on the dormers are the original aluminum siding and are starting to look pretty dingy and dated. There are also several aluminum awnings still on our house and in storage in our garage. I'm thinking about taking it all down and turning it in to the recycling place for cash... Hmmmm.... Thinking... Does that tiny piece of loose siding justify all new siding? I guess I just have to convince Husband.
