I blame dh for this. I never needed braces. Mine came in perfectly straight.

B and I both never needed braces. His are almost perfect, minus one that's slightly crooked but doesn't need anything done. Mine actually are perfect. Like, people ask me about having braces as a teen and then are amazed when I tell them I didn't have them because they're so straight.

I remind my father of this every time he complains about how much money we cost him growing up.

To the insurance people out there. I had 2 neighbors redo their roofs in the last week. One of the workers rang my door and spoke to me. He asked if I knew that insurance companies pay for new roofs? I of course always assumed that would not be covered unless a tornado came threw, or maybe a hurricane. Anyway he said we had a hail storm in May (I didn't remember), and that insurance companies will pay for a new roof if you have hail damage. He then offered to take a look at our roof for no cost. Our house was built in '04 and we have no trees around it. I thought roofs could last at least 20 years. Anyway he said that even though the storm was in May, our insurance company should cover it, but the deductible portion of course. I don't know it all sounded fishy. He should me pictures of some dents on the down spouts and the flashing on the side of the garage. We just changed insurance to Liberty Mutual in June from Horace Mann. He said it would be no problem and they would go through Horace Mann. Told me an inspector would come out and they would assess the damage. It just sounds dishonest and a quick way for this roofing company to make money. It is 6 months from this storm. If it was a week, I would get it. Sounds like a way for them to drum up business quickly before the winter. My dh thought it sounded a bit fraudulent.

If no one has responded to this yet (I haven't been on here since early this morning), then I'd tell you to never hire the guy. General rule of thumb (from the experts in consumer protection, that is), is to never hire any stranger who comes to the door offering roof, driveway, landscaping, etc., services. People have been scammed out of money, and the ones that actually showed up to do the work, had unlicensed workers -- and shoddy work.

Probably better to check with friends who have had good experiences with specific companies, etc., or even sometimes you can also check at your local city or town hall for some advice. But no matter what names are given to you, be sure to make sure they are fully licensed, at the minimum.

Beautiful pics. Are you traveling 81?

When we come back to NJ we are thinking of taking I-81 North all the way to the PA Turnpike and then head east to Brick NJ. It is more miles than the I-95 route but the traffic delays in the DC area and the northern VA area was SOOO BAD that I am thinking the 81 to PA Turnpike route might be quicker. What are your thought on this? @MySmallWorldof4

Sounds fishy to me. Sounds like he is just trying to drum up some business..
