The adjuster called to tell us how much it's going to cost to fix the house. Let's just say you could buy either a nice used car or a lower-end new car with the check. Yikes! We have to get the roof repaired, new siding on the entire back side of the house and all new downspouts and gutters. Fun, huh? Now to get the estimates.
This is the average size of the hail that hit our house. Up until this weekend, I had this piece and two others in a bowl in our freezer. Don't know why... just did.
Finally, here is our cheap little table we got from Wal-Mart. As you can see, the hail went straight through it. (there is another hole under the planter on the right... and see that huge crack? Nice, huh? At least it still holds the rose bushes Carl bought this weekend. We'll plant them and then hope they don't get trampled when the workers fix my house. 
Gotta love it.
I told Carl that I hope this doesn't turn into one of those nightmare repair jobs where nothing is ever right again.
Anyhoo -- thought I'd share the pictures of the hail and its aftermath.
This was the front yard during the storm... yes, I walked onto our porch and took a picture! Then I ran back in the house and hid in the bathroom.

And now for the damage... this is the hole next to J-man's window. It is the largest of all the holes... see how close it was to smashing the glass?
Here are some holes and cracks in the siding... you may or may not be able to tell... and trust me, I didn't take pictures of it all.
