- Oh jeez, this was an unexpected nightmare.
My 2021 Airstream Bambi "Peanut" was destroyed in a freak hail storm. Getting it repaired is almost impossible. The storm was pretty dang awful to ride out too!
Today, I'll show you the storm, the damage, and why I might not have a place to live 😱

Why does it need repair if there's no holes? No leaks? You have a 5th wheeler. Is that your only place to live? Try HUD apartment life. Your privacy is intact. No theft. I envy you. Being able to come and go as you please.
Haven't been following you but I lived in a travel trailer for two months and loved it but it was not mine. So no responsibility except I had to leave when owners needed to set up for winter. Ive lived in an apartment and have problems with privacy. As well as people going through who have master key. Consider yourself blessed despite hail. Privacy is important.
The outer shelf can't be fixed. She would have to replace every single panel and skylights. It's totaled
This happened to me about 6 weeks ago in New Mexico. Hail storms and a tornado. There is no place to run
Negotiate for the entire replacement cost
Growing up in Texas it was really normal to see cars with hail damage dents all over. Once the glass is replaced and water isn't getting in, the dents are just decoration. Like freckles.
My car has a few freckles!
@@DeLong740 I'm really praying the damage is mostly cosmetic outside the necessary roof/window repairs.
Robin I'm so sorry you're going through this. However, it's great to know you're secure and safe. This is an important aspect of the RVing and remote living life that people need to be aware of. My prayers are with you.
Take the money and name your Airstream “Dimples”.
Tracey, you have a great attitude.
You know, keep the Airstream like it is, it makes a statement, “don’t mess with me, I’ve been through hail and back.”
Just had to state the obvious... that's a good business idea for a bumper sticker and other merch! (Buc-ees?). I'd buy one when they come out!
Oh that's good!
Talk about staying positive 😅
Cosmetically damaged? Yes. Ruined? No.
Those dimples actually look like part of the design.
I'd just pocket the check and call it a day.
I like your attitude! It’s actually not that bad and it’s a story to tell wherever you go until you get into a different position to change whatever it is you wanna change or fix!
I agree with you! Pocket the check!
She lost at 10k in resale value or more
I mean, really? Ruined? I don’t think so
Like a golf ball, the dimples create less drag and make it go further. 🤓
As long as Peanut isn't compromised, it's just cosmetic damage. Yes, it's not perfect, but still livable...
I agree with those comments about it being aesthetic damage. If the functionality is not damaged, it's really only personal pride that's hurting. Very glad that you and all those in the RV park are safe.❤
Respectfully, I would say it's not just personal pride. It's her trade-in and/or resale value that just plummeted. I know this having grown up in tornado alley (Dallas) and auto dealerships had to have major hail sales every season.
@@le_th_ True. I know Robin is looking at the vanlife, maybe this will push her into doing it. But yes, she did lose money from that storm and repairing it will help her keep the value.
As the survivor of a Texas tornado (in 2019), I would like to strongly encourage you that if you receive an alert that says to get inside a building, GET INSIDE AN ACTUAL BUILDING (assuming there’s one nearby). A tornado will take you WITH IT if you’re inside your airstream or your 5th wheel and it won’t matter where you’re standing inside!
The problem is how to get the alerts. If you rely on cell phones, the carriers perform rather poorly, i.e. sending routine tests at 3amm. Or not sending them at all. The system is pretty dysfunctional.
If you rely on the NOAA weather radio, you'd have to fuss with channels every time you moved, and some of those deliver alerts over such a wide area that severe rain 50 miles away gets you alerts all night long. Also, a mixed blessing.
In my case, both the local tornado siren and my cell phone alerted at the same time. The cell phone alert specifically said there was a tornado on the ground near me. Within 90 seconds, it was upon us. Having lived through that experience, I’m grateful for both forms of alert, even when they’re testing. They both saved my life.
Or into a ditch in worst case scenario..
Paint the Airstream white with the golf ball name Titleist and sell it at a golf tournament. Lol.
😂
😂😂😂
Perhaps the trailer will move smoother at freeway speeds? Better MPG?
Maybe Airstream will want to attach some airflow sensors to test the "dimplifiy" effects?
Airstream sponsor?
Trade for a restored Argosy?
Check accepted, sell "Dimples", and 5th wheel, get that van you liked?
😂😂😂😂😂😂 for real
😂
I have lived in my Toyota Prius for five years and there is a reason I choose national forests when I can. I lived in Oklahoma City for seven years when I was working and became *very* familiar with hail and tornado damage, both to houses and personal vehicles. The car dealers in OKC all have sturdy coverings built in their lots to mitigate damage--nothing works 100% to prevent hail damage--and many older homes have carport covers for theirs; the newly built houses mostly do not, unless the buyer builds one.
Forest cover can reduce damaging hail, which I have experienced. My heart goes out to you, Robin. You have experience dealing with insurance companies, which works to your benefit, but you are now learning about the Replacement Theory!
Unless a tree decides to fall on your rig…which happens all the time with storms.
I can tell you in the Pacific Northwest there's an awful lot of people who get killed by tree branches falling on their vehicle so be very careful where you choose to do this. Winds can get up to 50 MPH with winter storms. Those trees fall over from the roots up.
When we get ice storms. It's not that uncommon for whole entire tree branches to just crack and fall off on top of your car!
That's why they regularly tell people to stay home.
They don't listen and then the first responders get to go get them or recover their body underneath a thousand pound tree limb.
Some people are living in their vehicles though...more and more as times get squeezier in the financial realm... There's nowhere totally safe on the planet, but if I had a choice I would be in Arizona in the winter.. but even there the weather is nuts sometimes...
@@pjt3887. I lived in N CA. And saw winds up to 100 mph. Ouch
Oh man. So sorry. We have a Dutch Star 38 yr 2000. Rubber roof. Yes, im sure many of the breakable accessories up there would get damaged. Not sure on the rubber roof with plywood substrate. Hope I never have to find out. Yes I have heard that it is at least cosmetically bad on aluminum, but doen’t breach the roof, just dents. But still really not good.
Despite the video title it doesn't look like your Airstream is DESTROYED or RUINED but maybe doesn't look as nice? I say if it's still livable take the check and continue your journey. The way the weather is going you're likely to run into hail more and more now. Sorry for your bad run of luck - you'll figure it all out and bring us along for the journey!
She has become pretty notorious for clickbait titles. It's one of the reasons I stopped watching her for a long time. The dramatic title only to find out that it is nothing or something small. “Am I leaving RV life?!?” no, I had a minor inconvenience and life goes on. See you next week! I'm over it.
@@lauriemrdjan we adore Robin and she’s CERTAINLY not the only one doing the click-baiting. We’ve decided we’re going to do videos with titles like “We had a great week. Nothing bad happened and everyone is doing great”. 🤣
🤣🤣I quit watching this woman years ago, every 6 months she had a NEW RV, don't worry she'll just buy another one.
I hate to see this happen to you and Debbie! I'm curious if the solar panels were damaged in any way.
I'm glad I don't have to make that decision for you. It's a tough one. 😪
@@janesmith716Sounds like you're a little jealous there.
When it was time to teach my daughter to drive I found an older luxury car that was built like a tank but had cosmetic hail damage. She didn’t care about that and really enjoyed driving that great car. She still wishes she had it today. Take the money, then make a cool decal for it that says “I’m still beautiful inside”. You can enjoy that sweet little home again! 🤗🙏
Just heard from Hank Greens channel that golf balls travel faster because of the dimpled texture. Look on the bright side, you've now got a slightly faster airstream!
😊
I was once struck by an errant golf ball, on the side of my leg. The bruising that followed was longlasting and extensive. Luckily, the ball didn't hit bone because yes, golf balls are like missiles! 🏌️♂️😧
Probably get better gas milage then too 🤔. Heck she should just even out the dimples all over instead n make it look more uniform, n that would make it look pretty cool, lol. 🍻
@@TwilightedForever1well be glad it wasn't a hard baseball in the head, cause that hurts a hell of a lot more!
😂🤦🏻♀️ well that’s one way of looking at it 👍🏼
tiny dents all over does not make it ruined, it's only cosmetic
You’re safe. Anything that can be fixed with money, although horrible at the time, will be okay. Pain in the arse, but you’ll be okay. We support you, Robin. Take care.
Hail destroys sticks and bricks too. Had to replace our home's entire roof and siding about 10 years ago because of massive hail storm.
Yeah, same.
We were left homeless after Harvey and a cousin loaned us his trailer and one night a storm rolled in so fast and it was terrifying. We felt sure the camper was going to go airborne. The lightning and wind was so bad I really thought we were going to wind up badly injured. It’s no joke being in an rv or camper of any kind when nature lashes out. I truly and sincerely feel for you. I’ve been there myself. I’m so glad you’re ok but I know it was a horrible ordeal.
I have a friend who had hail damage on her Airstream. Her insurance repaired it. She took it to the Airstream factory for repair…that said it happened again and the damage was bad enough that her insurance totaled it. She now has a new one and tries to find shelter for it if she can . In your instance, this was no warning. I hope you can get the repairs done. 🤞🏻
Yep and I'm sure she knows this too despite her overly-dramatized title. I'd be surprised if she doesn't have a game plan to have the factory and her insurance take care of the damage.
Life's blemishes, no broken windows & still livable that's a blessing. Your poor friend who came to see you & now her rv/home was totaled. I feel sad for her. Hopefully, she'll be able to figure something out.
I love the freedom of living in the RV, but this made me realize there is a downside. It can be life-changing. I know you will make the best choice.
Also its not cheap.
This can happen in a home too
Also glad you're safe. A "freak" storm...reminds us of George Carlin: "The freeway was the scene of a freak accident today, as three freaks in a camper crashed into six freaks in a van."
😅😅😅
I so love George Carlin! I've never heard this quote from him before. Thanks for the Sunday morning laugh.
Thank you for that classic George Carlin….i needed a laugh
Oh, NO!! I’m sorry to hear this, but I’m so glad you’re safe!!
Sorry it happened to you. ! - ...aluminum trailers.
Battle scars. Keep going. The next time you won't worry about it so bad.
Yeah, I was hoping it was mostly cosmetic damage & that all 3 rigs are still operable.
@@celestepalm6949 Yeah, maybe for each dent, it could be the center of a painted flower.
I'm so sorry to hear about the damage to your AirStream. You've shown remarkable resilience and adaptability in facing this challenge. Your ability to stay positive and move forward despite setbacks is truly inspiring! Sending love to Deb too!!
this has cured me of ever wanting an airstream.
Yes but any vehicle can get damaged by hail. Vehicles these days are made of fiberglass.
Are those older rubber topped roofs best??
@@Runner8617 An Airstream will receive much more damage than an ordinary RV or Vehicle. Soft Pliable Aluminum.
You do know ANY RV can get hail damage right??
@@loric6255 RVs with a fiberglass shell with survive hail such better than an aluminum one.
Robin, take the check and leave it as is. It will add lots of character to your airstream and a great story to tell. ❤️
Good luck and hugs. Years ago, I was out of state when a really vicious hail storm hit Colorado Springs. I returned two weeks later to find my roof destroyed. The insurance adjusters were swamped, but when they made it out, they admitted that the quality roofers they recommended were now booked for several months ahead. I chose to wait, but some people didn't and not a few of those got hit with the sleazebag scammers who move in at times like that. The storm was in the spring. I didn't get my roof replaced until mid-fall. Colorado hail can be vicious. All you can do is move forward and take each day as it comes. You got this. You always do.
We had hail in Colorado Springs, too. Denver, of course is infamous for spinning tornadoes off to Weld County, who gets more tornadoes than any other place on the planet.
BTW, we discovered that Android phones' cameras won't work during a weather emergency! People were trying to drive and photograph the hail at the same time....
it's been bad the last month or so here on the western slope for storms
It's cosmetic damage. How is it unlivable.
It's not unlivable. Cleary.
Her 5th wheel is close to being unlivable.
Click bait
I was in Creede, Colorado around the same time I think, I also was hit with a huge hail storm. My RV has lots of demples but nothing broken that prevents me from living in it. No sky lights, a.c. is ok so for now, I am staying in it.
I know exactly how you feel. I live in central Texas and last September we had a freak hailstorm that totaled my Class C. It was baseball sized hail. You feel so helpless listening to those crashes and there’s nothing you can do about it. It also totaled 2 cars and all the windows in our kitchen, not to mention the roof. The RV was parked in our driveway. You are so right about the insurance adjuster low balling it. It wasn’t until 2 months later when I finally got it towed into a repair shop that it was totaled. I have since bought another RV but am still traumatized by that experience. Best of luck getting your repairs done or whatever you decide to do. Right now there is a hurricane heading our way so no beach trips for a while. Take care🤠🌞🦋💖
If it doesn’t leak, nothing structurally wrong, just aesthetics, I would probably be inclined to take the check and run it as is. Of course then the resale value is shot, but you did pocket a nice check. 🤷♂️
She said it was a small check. The bigger one comes when the repair is completed.
Dang, talk about sharing real life experiences in the RV. 😢 aesthetically the airstream would still work for me, it’s got battle scars now. Big hugs sorry this caused so much damage to everyone’s rig.
Ohhhhh, the drama! Destroyed? 😂 Naw, ya got scars of traveling in the crazy areas. It's all good. I remember you living through a nasty snow storm, and that scared ME! I'm not easy to scare, but I hate the cold. You're a strong woman, youll be fine. And so will your poor little rv. Take that check and call it an experience. ❤
...that horrid feeling when all you can do is watch it happen.
I'm so sorry Robin😢.
The Airstream is still livable, I'd take the check, keep the airstream and run the wheels off of it. The same thing could happen again if you repair it. But that's just me!
Exactly!!
Sorry but you're not explaining much here. How is the 5th wheel almost unlivable? You don't provide any details. And your Airstream has a bunch of dents- it just looks pretty cosmetic to me. I don't mean to sound ignorant, But if it's just dented up, you might want to sell at a discount, take your check, and invest in a new RV. I just found out an Airstream loses 20-40% of its value in a major hailstorm. That's hardly destroyed. Heck, I'd take that discount myself if the damage is only cosmetic. Or just keep it as is, assuming nothing is actually smashed. It's the people with solar panels I feel sorry for.
RVs can be damaged so easily I would be most concerned about leaks after an issue like this.
She said she'd explain about the 5th wheel next week. She never said the Airstream was unlivable. Maybe she'll take the money and continue living in it, as she mentioned as one of her options. And most solar panels are hardened against hail (except cheap types like Harbor Freight, etc.)
Next time, you might want to forego getting a video of it and get away from the window. The clicks aren't worth it.
I was thinking the same exact thing.
@@godislove6611 I would be doing exactly the same, in fact, I might even go outside in the middle of the storm. I know, I know…..stupid. But that’s how I roll.
I’ve long thought that you’ve been destined for a nice van. The universe is talking: Take the money, sell everything, buy a van. 😊
She probably needs a bit more space in a rig less susceptible to breakdowns: How about a small schoolie or a shuttle?
maybe buy a “hail proofed” one
Class B all the way!
So sorry you experienced this. Tough decisions ahead for you. Glad you are safe!!
I'm so sorry that you had all that damage and now the 5th wheel, but it's so nice to see that you are still smiling, even with all the crap going on.
I'm very sorry this happened to you, Robin. Thank God you are okay.
So sorry. Thank heavens you have the 5th Wheel
Yes, most people don’t have two RVs
She said that is almost unlivable now. 😢
@@TheWestlandgirl Have a feeling it's not that bad.
Robin said the 5th wheel was pretty bad. (Broken sky lights and hole in the roof)
Why is it unliveable??? Just from hail damage? It wasnt destroyed. Is it leaking? I dont get it
Everyone can help Robin (edit sorry wrong name 1st time!) by watching ads on her videos. I have a playlist running right now! xo
It's certainly NOT destroyed. Just devalued a tad....still usable.
Could've been much worse.
Way more than a tad!
@@bobbiewhitten1718 , it'll buff right out!😁
Hey Robin, same thing happened to me in my ‘69 vintage Airstream. The insurance company totaled it so I bought it back at salvage value and painted Texas wildflowers and sunflowers all over it. Every flower was a dent. It looks so cute and I get lots of compliments on it.
From your description all of your damage is cosmetic. Did the hail destroy the structural integrity? Broken windows, leaking rain from holes, sprung seams?
The broken items you have shown can be replaced.
You might not have to replace the body panels, try a specialized automotive body shop that removes hail dents. They could well fix your damage without having to remove body panels and do so rather guickly and far cheaper.
Poor little Peanut & Debra's beautiful Lazy Daze! 😱🥺 I'm just glad you & Debbie are safe, Robin. Freak weather increasing everywhere but dang, sure seems like Colorado is getting more than its fair share!
Keep the check and move on. It's aluminum with some dings. No biggie.
An airstream owner's worst nightmare!
It is actually a part of everyone's life. At any moment a natural disaster can strike and affect your home. I'm sorry it happened but this isn't unique to RV life. It also isn't uncommon to have to wait for repairs. Good luck whatever you decide to do.
Yup. Every summer in Colorado. Always expected.
Wow, had no idea about weather patterns in Colorado.
@LisaLightning yup. Sometimes we get several storms with baseball size hail... golf ball size hail. This little storm wasn't much in the scheme of things
Theyre just...dents? Seems like it's still totally livable?
When I have my Airstream out, I am always mindful of weather and nearby roofs I can borrow, like a gas station canopy or a freeway overpass….. but camping unhitched, unexpected squall, total bummer.
I'm so sorry this happened Robin, and for Debbie too! This could happen to any of us, and I appreciate your sharing the helpful info regarding insurance. Scroll past the negative commenters, I know you know. Why the hell are they even here!? You're a wonderful person Robin, and I love your channel. You work so hard and some of these naysayers, well, if ya know ya know. 😉😙
Does the damage affect anything besides looks?Are there holes from the damage?Broken glass?
So sorry to hear about the damage, Robin!!!! I’ve been watching your videos since around 2018 in preparation of buying my RV which is a 2019 Casita Spirit Deluxe. About 2 years ago I was planning on selling my house and going full time in a new 25’ Airstream International, but I passed on Airstream because of the potential for extensive damage from hail. Decided my full time rig would be a molded fiberglass Bigfoot 25 which is so much more durable and rugged than a fragile Airstream. Ultimately decided not to full time but please consider MOLDED fiberglass as your next full time home. And if fiberglass does get damaged, it is much easier to repair than an AS. Best of luck moving forward.
In addition to the Airstream factory in Jackson Center, Ohio, there is another facility. P&S Trailers in Helena, Ohio not too far from Jackson Center. They specialize in Airstreams from restoration to customizing to creating concession stands out of them. P&S would be more likely to help with the replacement of the panels than Airstream. It would take time, but I can assure you the work and service is top notch. I had them completely rebuild my 1959 Trade Wind. Good luck.
I'm so sorry, Robin!! These folks in the comments trying to minimize your struggle and saying it's just some dimples and aesthetics, apparently have no idea how that trashes the value of a very expensive Airstream. I would assume that if you have a payment on it, the insurance check probably wouldn't cover it's full value. That sucks. Wishing you the best (and speedy) outcomes for both RVs.
Your friend's RV looks unlivable. Your airstream looks like it held up very well, unless it's leaking, but I didn't see that in the video. Think of it like this...your airstream has more character now :) I feel sorry for your friend Deb. I would keep the money and throw a few bucks into helping your friend out with her fixes.
Well said!
Grateful you are alive to share . Breathe deeply and listen to your inner guidance. Don’t stop living the life you love ❣️🌺
Take it to Vinnie’s in California- they can remove some of the dents. Also some will pop out in the heat over time. Lots of people keep their dimpled Airstreams. I’m sorry that happened to you.
Wow! This takes the old saying "when it rains it pours" to a whole 'nother level! Glad you're safe.
Interesting that the weather folks called it "ping pong" sized hail when "golf balls" are about the same size, but closer to the actually density of frozen ice balls.
Why is the 5th wheel unlivable?
Oh my goodness, how awful! Hope your kitty was in that 5th wheel with you...mine would have been so afraid. (If you mentioned it, I apologize for missing that part!) Those little pings in the Airstream would not bother me one bit, unless there is damage beyond that. When we lived in Texas (in our Class C) we experienced many freak storms, including a tornado that touched down very close to where we were parked, and it is really scary! It sounded like there was a massive train about to plummet into us, and we were rocking back and forth. Thank the Lord it instantly stopped and we had no damage at all, which was really a miracle! Glad you and your friend were safe.
Robin, I have been following you from the very beginning. You are such an encouragement to many of us. My husband and I are going to hit the road this year to be full time nomads. You started me on this journey. I am so sorry for you misfortune. Give your self a cry day and then get back to it. You will get this figured out. You are resilient and brave! this is just a blip on the map. I am rooting for you always! Happy trails to you!
How is it unlivable when it's just a bunch of dents??
She was talking about the 5th wheel with the all the vents breaking and a hole in the roof.
Sorry to hear Robin. Hang in there!
Love your hair Robin. I’m so sorry about your Airstream and 5th wheel
I know, her hair looks fabulous.
Glad everyone is safe and you have somewhere you can at least stay temporarily. Safe travels, and thanks for keeping us posted!
I’m so sorry . Praying for you
Robin, that is the absolute pitts!! So sorry. I’ve had major hail damage to my RV and Car. My car was two weeks old and it encountered baseball sized hail! Not a pretty sight. I cried a lot! But, you have to just go with it, as you say. That’s why having a cushion set aside for these things is imperative. ♥️🙏🏼♥️
Dents are ok. Its patina for trailers. Just watch the seams for warping and leaking.😅
Glad no one was injured.😊 Glad you can still live safely and comfortably. 😊Sorry about the cosmetic damage.
So, your Airstream is not completely destroyed. It just has little dimples on it now, like a golf ball. As long as it's not leaking, you're good to go. Will it affect its resale value? Absolutely, but you just lost some money, not your home. I had the same thing happen to me in an aluminum skinned Aliner. It was unsightly afterwards, but still fully functional. If it were me, would pocket the insurance check and continue to live in it as is.
Take the check and keep Bambi, it’s only aesthetics right ? No leaking , broken windows….? It’s tiny but probably better built than the 5 th wheel. You still have the truck camper ? You’re a smart lady, you got this Robin
You had that churning tummy I am sure. So sorry 30 minutes changed your freedom road. Like waking up after surgery and realizing you are OK but more than you accepted. Hang in there girl.
So sorry Robin I really hope everything works out my friend we’re all here for you 😊
When there's hail there's a strong chance of tornadoes. You need to know where to go if tornado warning. And always keep local weather on when stormy. Glad you're ok. Homes can be fixed.
Not destroyed
Wow Robin - You’ve not had great luck with your RVs. Good thing you’ve been so committed to the Nomadic Lifestyle. We’ve been fulltiming in the same Winnebago View for 6 years and have had our share of challenges, but nothing like you. Best to you!
I’m curious. With the Airstream, is it just cosmetic damage? Like, it just has permanent dimples? If so, there are guy who drive around looking for vehicles with dents and they fix them pretty quickly on the spot. I’m wondering if one of these guys can do the job for a nominal fee.
Aluminum doesn't pop back out like car metal-- can't be PDR
@@loric6255 👍🏻
Our sticks and bricks home has suffered many weather events with damage and fire. All you can do is keep on smiling and get through. Turn your negative into a positive. Your positive attitude and supportive community will be your greatest asset. Best wishes for you and Deb.
Hope it's enough for a drink or 2 to numb the pain. I'm so sorry about all this loss.
Oh my gosh, that is so sweet of you! Thank you very much
This is why I have metal roof carport over our 35ft 3 slide out trailer that we live in and metal roof carports over my cars. We have dents in the metal roofs from a golf ball and larger Hail Storm. Hail is so destructive!
How horrible, I’m sorry. 😮
Nothing was destroyed Robin .
Damaged yes !!
I’m so sorry, Robin - for you and everyone else affected by the storm.
File an insurance claim and move on.

So sorry for your troubles. I hope you can get everything resolved quickly.
Oh no!! So sorry, but very glad YOU are safe!!
I can hear the helpless feeling in your voice as it was happening 😢So sorry this happened. Unfortunately I’ve seen this happen a lot, especially with Airstreams. I know there are a lot of comments saying “it happens” & they just live with it, but I would be sad too 😢
Glad you're safe. Remember some of our worst times in life bring our best times.
I'm really sorry you're having to go through this, Robin.
Thankful there was no tornado accompanying it -with that kind of hail conditions were right for tornadoes. Thanks for the info about the insurance situation. Hoping for the best for you & all the others!
That's horrible, Robin. I'm so sorry for both you and Deb. You both are so helpful to all us RVers and I want you to know how much we appreciate you. I hope you have some positive news for us in the near future.
Oh no 🙈 that sucks so bad. So sorry 😞 The sound was super scary. Glad you are ok and that’s what’s most important. The rig can be replaced.
A hail storm like that can make a good house unlivable having gone through cat 4 hurricanes in houses then living with tent roof and raw sewage pool for front yard while waiting on insurance then getting on waiting list for plumbing repairs, roof, etc. took two years to get house back with full everything and no option to take it across country to mothership. So I feel you - Mother Nature can be a beast.
It was good to see you smiling at the end. Hang in there!
