Oh no! Well maybe its not as bad as it looks? Did you get a picture?

I'm sure my husband did - honestly, I didn't even want to look!

The vehicle is an SUV, approximately 10 to 15 years old, so it's only worth a few thousand. The owner said she was surprised that a tree in that condition could do so much damage, but the hood was smashed, the windshield shattered, the roof stove in, a couple of doors dented. Her husband's truck (which was parked next to it) had a couple of dents and the paint was scraped up, but he said he wasn't worried about it; it's a work truck, and damage to it is pretty much inevitable anyway.

We have over 7 jungle-y acres. A lot of the growth is so dense, I haven't ever walked over it, and we've lived here more than 20 years. There are a lot of dead pine trees (competition and other issues) and the vast majority could go down and do no harm (shoot, some could go down and we'd never notice). This particular tree had more than a 270° arc where it could have landed and done nothing more than make holes in the ground or flattened scrub; it's just bad luck that it went the way it did. I feel morally responsible, if nothing else.

I understand but they made the choice to only pay for liability go on blue book .com find out the real VALUE

I have a heating pad and piece of hardwire bent in a u it is high enough that chicks can go under for warmth or not no more heat lamps here and my heating pad is huge no auto shut off ... pups I used wading pools for litters but mine was big dogs my chihuahua's so many years ago had itty bitty dog beds

Good idea and aww

My biggest issue is power consumption. Heating pads use more than the plates do. I run on 100% solar, not tied to the grid, so I have to consider how much power is going to be drawn by something that is going to be running 24 hrs a day.
That and I don't trust myself to make something that the chicks could get hurt on or eat something they shouldn't.

Very true. We are on electric, didnt think of being off grid

My heating pad is relatively new replace them through Amazon I hear ya and things have gotten more efficient where we heat with wood most often I do understand

Oh don't even get me started on electric heaters. Even small portable ones are a major power drain. I can't believe the average person uses them and can afford to eat. If I have to plug mine in I have to run the generator to compensate for the amount of power used. Needless to say I heat with wood too.

I used the Kennel Aire brand whelping box - loved it. , and their crates. Sorry I sold them many years ago. Stuff nowadays seems so flimsy. I just had Cockers and they never tried to fly out of the brooder(whelping box) only the mother that didn't want to be one.

Sorry I wouldn't know how much electricity the pad used. I was around 20 yrs. old and generally had litters at the grooming shop I had. So it was covered by my rent.

I built my own whelping boxes, and wrote an article , took pictures, had it published.

Good gosh am I old that was 50 years ago.

It was windy. The homeowner's insurance company says they don't cover wind damage. The car's owner only had liability on the car, and it looked totaled to me.

My Sunbeam heating pad i keep in bed with me is Sunbeam, made in China. The high setting doesn't work, so we got a refund. But i only use low any way. I wonder what setting they use for chicks?

Going back to early 80's with the chihuahua's then up till Tervuren, Maline my foundation was a 89 she had just the one litter, passed before the second was born and embolism
her daughter a 93 she had three litters 96, 2002, 2003 died at 15 stupidly and anger of human




I have a electric blanket I run it on 2 to warm the bed shut if off to sleep socks and flannel PJ's in bed

Trees can really smash things!

It is good that no one was hurt

My dad had that happen to his Honda accord. Faulty rear window defrost wire.
