No, I don't have insurance; the house is 50 years old and self built and the insurance here in hurricane alley is expensive and the deductibles are in the thousands.
I have some of what I need for repairs and a good neighbor and Christian friend has some more and he will help me repair the fence. The cost should be little and the Lord always provides!
I have bent over backwards to be a good neighbor but it has never made a difference. At the back of our line he has a board fence which he put up when he bought the house some years ago. All of the board fence he paid for then is gone except the section shared by me. I have spent time and money to maintain his fence and when I showed him all the repairs he didn't say a word, let alone thank you.
If need be I will try to bribe him to please leave me alone AND if the rest of that tree - which he won't do anything about - falls on my fence some day I will sue him and perhaps he will learn something about the law and human relations. Imagine him believing that a tree on his property is not his responsibility. God save us from greedy selfish people!
Well said, Bob. I will add them to my prayer list that God softens their hearts.
And yes, the Lord, always provides!!
You are such a kind person and I’m of the mind that you can catch a lot more flies with honey, rather than vinegar. Haha unless I’m truly well and angry, then they get both barrels.

don’t know if this helps re: tree damage

The fallen branches are probably your responsibility.
Is the tree diseased or dying?
The fence you repaired: if it’s on the property line, it’s probably jointly owned by u & neighbor. Border fence
