It’s not your shocks – the driveway is shocking.

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.
