Here is a house you could barely see from the street before the team started clean out the yard. Two massive 3' diameter pines lay across the front of the yard by the street. Two more large pines lay across the top of the house in the front. A top of another pine tree had snapped off and punctured the roof in the rear of the house and went into a rear bedroom. The owner took me in to check the interior damage and the first two words I had was "eBay heaven". The house was packed with antiques and collectibles. Not yard sale junk, but high quality items. She had been in the process of moving her inventory to a new store she was planning to open before the storm hit. We were able to get the rear tree removed. But due to the size of the others a crane was going to have to be called in. Again, we worked most of the day just to be able to get to the house in order to start clearing it off. Relatives were on the way to help move the antiques to a storage facility.
