Yeow! What a sight! The thing about a family home, especially one like ours that we’ve owned/lived in since 1964, it often looks much like it did when I was 3 years old. Sure, the inside changes a bit and our driveway was originally unfinished, but for the most part it looks exactly the same. So when a change like this occurs (overnight even!) it’s a bit of a shock.

Fortunately my mom’s home owners insurance should cover it all, though she won’t be able to replace it with the exact model that was there. They stopped making it years ago.
