We started between the 6’s and continued for 13 years. We are not a fan of instant gratification of brick and mortar shopping and many restaurants are less than adequate.

At one time we loved the “Mature Giant Oaks” then saw some really pretty trees fall on homes and property. No matter how good your insurance is, not everything will be covered after 2% deductible.

Any tree within striking distance of your property, you need a savings of $10-20,000 cash to get things quickly removed and safe. Even branches can cause major damage.

There were many who lost many shingles, tree branches fell on their homes, many in remediation, for 6 months. Some homes still have not had repair completed after 8 months. Some to receive a few thousand on a $20,000-$60,000 of damage. Until you have a loss you really have no idea how good your insurance is. Then you have the worry if you will be renewed or canceled.

While it’s not typical in TV, it’s Florida. there have been more than one destructive tornados. Or extreme high winds from remnants of hurricanes.
