When I bought this house; I knew the roof leaked, but it wasn't that big of a deal. Of the 3 years I've lived here, it has leaked twice. Well, it's that time to get a new roof. I should have a new roof by next weekend.
This morning, I got up, cleaned house and then took Diesel to be groomed. Went to a couple of yard sales and just enjoyed my day off looking forward to this long Memorial Day weekend.
When I got home; Shane had me go to the backyard and see if I noticed anything. This is what I finally saw.

Luckily, it missed my fence and more importantly, it missed my neighbors house. I just had a tree service, that will remain anonymous, come out and give me an estimate to just cut the branch off and haul it off. The estimate was a minimum of $250.
Another company is on their way and I'm hoping that he will be gentle with my pocketbook.
