Hi all, I decided to post this one on "Outdoor Wednesday". Hope you visit "A Southern Daydreamer" to see all the other posts. http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/
See this wire! That's my phone wire coming from a pole across the road to my house. This morning a bigger than normal garbage truck picked up my garbage. I noticed the truck was just sitting out there on the road for like a half hour. Pretty soon another regular truck drives up and a guy comes into the front yard and is taking pictures of my house. (That is never good!!) I went out and couldn't believe what I saw.
This was the phone box and wire pulled off my house. Unfortunately . . . it was behind my vinyl siding. See below!!!!!!!!!!
Can you believe all this damage!
Allied Waste Company assures me that their insurance will be coming out to settle and I need to get an estimate from the company that did my siding!!
I called the Vinyl company and they will be coming out. The hardest part was calling Verizon, who's outside wiring it is, and Armstrong Cable who I now have my phone through to come out and take the wire away. It was laying across the road. I finally had to call the police who called Verizon and they were out in a matter of an hour!!! Amazing!
My poor house!!!!!!

Oh No!!! That's awful! What cruddy luck...
ReplyDeleteOuch....that is no fun at all...hope it is all resolved soon.
ReplyDeleteOuch!
ReplyDeleteThe logging trucks going by our cabin have taken down the wires several times but never any damage like this. Oh my gosh I hope they are going to make good on the damages. Just what you need to think about when you are in the middle of your kitchen reno.
ReplyDeleteI think I would have screamed, possibly fainted..it would not have been good. Great grief, what a miserable mess. I sure hope they get it repaired quickly..
ReplyDeleteThat's terrible! It's always something. I can't beleive the damage. This just gives you something to do.
ReplyDeleteTry to have a good day anyway.
Oh no!! I am glad you were able to run out and take pictures of the whole thing. That way you've got the proof you need. But the trash company will probably make good on their offer to fix everything. I hope you didn't lose your phone service.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhh, what a mess!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, think of all this added *fun*. NOT! -sigh-
Better you than me, that's what I say! Hubby took down a tree out back, and he didn't look to see if there were wires near by - there WERE, and the tree crashed, the house shook, and I went out to see what happened - it felt like the tree hit the house! But it only ripped the wires and box off. We were without power a few hrs. but what a mess! That was a few years back, but I remember it like it was yesterday!
ReplyDeleteWoah! That's really bad! I hope they repair everything soon! I scrolled down and peeked at your mosaic...beautiful horse! I certainly hope your week gets better!...Debbie
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading an article about the detours in our lives, and you most certainly have had a big detour to your day! I hope all the estimates, etc fall into place quickly and you can get your house back to normal!
ReplyDeleteGood grief.....who would believe all that damage....I'm glad you got the photos to show who caused the problem.
ReplyDeleteHope you get it repaired soon!
Oh my goodness, hope it gets fixed soon.

That trash truck man was not paying attention to his business. He should have never done that kind of damage. I trust all repairs go well.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful house. Hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteHappy outdoor!
Oh my gosh, I can't believe how much damage your beautiful house has! Poor you. I'm sure it will be as good as new when the repairs are complete, but what a pain!
ReplyDeletexoxo...Kathy
So much for a nice quiet day at home.
ReplyDeleteYikes! I can't believe that happened to your house!!!!! I'd be one unhappy camper. Good luck.
