My tree in the front yard fell down three weeks ago and since that date I have been unable to open my garage door. Only the side door is functional.
We have 2 cars and one of them is stuck in the garage.
It is a single lane driveway with no street parking. It's been a pain in the rear, parking in our yard, parking down the street, at a school across the street, coordinating with the contractor so he can get access with his vehicles and trailers, etc. Our adjuster is national, so getting hold of him takes 2 days for every communication because of the hurricanes.
It's a pain all around.
I'm starting to get excited though... upgrading to vinyl/aluminum wrapped everything (virtually zero maintenance), new shingles for the entire roof, an insulated door with a window (the previous was neither of those), gutter runs along both sides of the garage (only had one side before), and a jackshaft garage opener.
The only thing I wish I had asked them to do was put some bracing in so that I could install a basketball hoop.
