It could have been much worse...

I slept through this rotted pine falling on the back edge of my roof and the front edge of my shed's roof. I doubt that most weekend chainsawers could have done done such a masterful job of dropping the tree between the two buildings...

Yeh, I slept through it despite being about 20 feet from my head. A chainsaw and some duct tape will make it good as new. Seriously though, it's one of those times I'm happy to be a renter and not a home owner...

Fortunately I hadn't left them outside on that part of the roof. Seriously though, I woke up early today and didn't notice anything amiss until the sun came up and I saw limb/branches just outside my kitchen window (where they weren't supposed to be)...

As a postscript, my landlord and his workers have already assessed the damage and will start working on it this afternoon.

Your landlord is better than any I've ever had

I've been renting since the mid-90s and would have to say that I've been very fortunate in that regard...

It looks worse than it is. All the damage was done by branches and small limbs; I'm still amazed that the trunk fell right between the house and the shed. It could have been much worse...
