Standing on my driveway taking pictures – the Insurance Man looked over at my neighbor’s and said, “Well, I usually don’t go looking for work…” He started taking pictures of her yard and house from my yard.
Here’s a picture of her driveway. Tree roots you say? Nope. Not this time. It’s not something pushing up the ground and breaking the concrete – turn that around in your head. Look at the picture. See that crack – the difference in levels? That’s about 2 inches in difference – 2 inches that the ground has shifted DOWN.
That's not roots pushing UP - it's the ground moving DOWN.
I’m going to knock on the door of that house soon. My neighbor doesn’t live there. She’s renting to a nice young couple with a baby. The new dad, who does construction, is supposed to be working on fixing the “problems” in the house. He had told me this on the day they moved in. I want to tell her, the owner, that I officially have a sinkhole. She inherited the house from her mom. I wonder if she has insurance. What would happen if I didn’t? Why hasn’t my insurance company been talking to me?
That’s another story I’ll tell you about soon.
