My brother came home drunk last night.
- He was so drunk that he didn’t realize he was backing into the yard instead of the driveway.
If it hadn’t been for the metal hitting metal sound, I wouldn’t have known he was home. I was so glad mom and dad weren’t home from vacation yet, or dad would have gone ballistic. My brother backed into the air conditioning and pushed it up against the house. I waited until the morning to see if there was any damage to the house. I had to call the homeowner’s insurance company to have them look at the house and the air conditioning unit. I was sure there was damage to the outside wall, and I wasn’t sure the air conditioning unit could be repaired. When the insurance company looked at the house and air conditioning unit, they told me I was right about the assessment of the air conditioning unit. As far as the house was concerned, he pointed out where the siding cracked and needed to be replaced. There was a crack in the foundation right below it. He wanted to do a more thorough inspection before he wrote up the estimate and sent to the insurance adjuster. I talked to mom and dad that night and told them about the incident. Dad said to get the repairs done on the house and order a new air conditioning unit. He was going to take care of my brother when they got home. Although I thought he may be mad at me for this happening, he and mom sounded like they were proud of me for taking care of everything the way I did.
