If you have comprehensive that will be covered.

Unfortunately I think the "took full coverage off" means he dropped from comprehensive to collision.

Everdave: was that serious wind or rain or some combination of the two or what? We had a massive storm last August that did similar damage here--power was out to our house for two days and I know a lot of people had crushed cars and damaged roofs.

I hate dragging extension cords behind me so I picked up a cheapy cordless Black & Decker trimmer last year and it's been working well so far. I don't expect it to last even five years, but it was also under $100. I wish they made one under the Porter Cable brand so I could share batteries with my drills/impact driver/saws/etc., though.

Electric is fine for stuff up to 7-10" with a sharp chain. Just a word of warning, however, chaps designed for gas saws won't protect you from electric since those don't have a clutch.

Also, people here must have a lot of patience and some small yards if you can stand an electric trimmer.

I always thought chainsaw chaps worked by tangling up the chain with kevlar strands until the saw stopped. What's so different about an electric motor that they don't work?

Also: yeah, my yard is tiny. It takes me about 15 minutes to trim along the fence line and around the perimeter of the house/deck.

I've got a 4.5 mile commute. Takes about 15 minutes depending on the lights. Probably around 30 by bike but I haven't HTFU'd enough yet to tackle it since my habit is to wake up as late as possible and, dammit, that's 15 more minutes of sleep!
