Wasn't as tough as the transition could have been. A few days from full time retirement hail did the roof. I worked partime so my boss could stay caught up until my replacement came on. While doing that the hail came again , skylights, windows and a door. The insurance adj got right after it.
A couple of checks, money in the bank, picked out my shingles and all the other stuff paid for it , hauled it home. I palleted the shingles so the neighbors John deere could lift them to the roof. The neighbor and a bud help me move the bundles to the ridge line . Did the rest my self while waiting for the new siding to show up then re sided my house myself. All the labor money went into my pocket no deductions or withholding. Yard work, shooting, hunting, fishing, boat collecting and going to the lake. At your own speed when you want don t waste to much time on the fire it's a wasting disease. Good luck. Mb
