Decision made for us...

[bungy]

Weve been pondering whether to sell the van for a little while, not getting much use out the old fella and opportunities to get away (even before covid!!) were slowly eroding for one reason and another. so were thinking of getting a smaller PVC, or even just a small camper for the odd night here and there...or even...on of those engineless things that we dont mention

Anyhoo...just been away for a few days visiting family (sans van) and came back to this..now the dance with insurance...thatll be fun!!
.

and then what todo next!!

doubt the tcut will help the tree, chain saw will help the van though i think!!

Error, sorry “fat finger syndrome “.

Was aiming to give you a “hug” emoji, but commiserations anyway.

Sorry for all the hassle you’re going to have but at least no one was hurt which is the main thing.

 

[Ridgeway]

That's some serious security feature you have there !

Fair bit of rural crime round here at the mo, but bit OTT do you think?

 

[bungy]

very true, and the garage is unscathed as well which is a minor mirracle...along with the oil tank that it just missed...that would have been V expensive to deal with

 

[grasscutter]

Daryl, so sorry to see this.
What a pain in the a#&e..
Hope you get it sorted quickly

As you say looks like the weather has made the decision for you. Fingers crossed your insurance company play ball when it comes to settlement figure

 

[Lenny HB]

Oh sh*t or a blessing in disguise.
Insurance claim should be straight forward & then you can look forward to a shiny new PVC.
Good luck.

 

[Podney]

Erm...sorry to be a doomster but..... that tree has a lot of dead wood in it. It is diseased and should have been cut down or cut back to avoid this event happening.

Well....that’s what your insurance company/ companies might say. They may say you have been negligent.

Or they may just pay up.

 

[Riverbankannie]

Good luck with your claim and sorting everything else out .

 

[Riverbankannie]

They may say you have been negligent.

Looks like the neighbour’s tree to me.

Ah! Even better...........OP can claim off them..

 

[Taran_Las]

Oh bugger.

Life is never straightforward.

Good luck​

 

[GMLS]

I feel your pain. We had a National Trust tree fall across our VW Beetle and Puck caravan causing £16k worth of damage. We even warned them it didn't look healthy but their insurers did not take any responsability so now going legal.

 

[bungy]

Nope, our tree, and it was fine, some dead lower branches but above that really healthy, too healthy really as it put on a lot of growth in the last few years, which is why i was goingbto get it topped this autumn
Tree surgeon chap has been and said the same. But quite a few big trees in this area got ripped out by the roots (litteraly) during the storm on tuesday.

God must have been listening in and decided you needed a helping hand, or wind in this case

Good luck with it and the insurers.

Glad no one was hurt

 

[Coastal Cruiser.]

That’ll buff out I think.

 

[gus-lopez]

Or they may just pay up.

that is what you pay for .Any aggro then you use one company to sue yourself & the other company.

 

[Poursay]

Best wishes and hope all works out as you would wish

 

[Beacons]
