I was up on the sales floor this past week and met a customer looking to get rid of a stump in her yard from a tree that fell in the last storm.
Luckily she did not have significant damage to her home, but there was a hole put into her roof, just under 2 feet wide.
She proceeded to tell me how she dealt with it in the middle of the raging storm.
What I am about to tell you next is inspiring!
She had called the roofer but of course, its the middle of the storm and no one is going anywhere, right?
So with the help of her husband and another man she grab an umbrella, popped it up through the hole, opened it, and anchored it with some string and a gallon of paint. GENIUS! Covered!
I have a picture in my mind of this bright rainbow umbrella sitting on top of the roof, with a raging storm blowing all around it.
They were able to sleep, knowing the fluffy snow was not getting into their home. I love it!
