We haven't done much cleanup, mostly because we don't have industrial equipment and a crane. Besides, it's not going to get worse by leaving it.
I have heard back from the insurance company a few times. We still need to wait for an adjustor before we start repairs. Our deductible is $1000, but anything over that, the insurance should cover. The adjustor will tell us if there is a cap on that reimbursement.
We did hear back from the county. It was the county tree that fell on our property, bringing our trees down with it and smashing the fence. Well no shocker here, but the county doesn't pay for it. And they don't remove it. County law says unless the tree was dead and marked for removal, they call it an Act of God and aren't responsible. Honestly, that's what I expected.
We did ask the county permission to have the repair crews work on their land. The fallen tree is a lot closer to the road than it is to our driveway. We wanted permission for the industrial equipment to come in from the road, rather than rip up our landscaping. They have to get back to us on that. Apparently the state owns 3ft of the land on either side of the road. So we need permission from both county and state.
So this might be a long process.
