It was June 16 when our old oak tree fell onto our kitchen, causing extensive damage to the roof structure and to the kitchen and sunroom. This home restoration was completed on December 4, just shy of six months after the tree fell. We had no idea the amount of chaos and anxiety we would experience during the restoration process; while we did not personally do any of the actual construction work, the daily uncertainty of people coming and going proved to be very overwhelming for both of us.
