<DIV>let me just add to the insurance thing ... a little known fact that my neighbor found out most accidently and is costing him over $100K. We live in Campbell, CA, which is an older community where most of the homes were built in the 50s and 60s. My neighbor had a mobile home which caught fire in the driveway and the fire spread to the house doing major damange to 2/3 of the building. He had replacement plus insurance (replacement of everything at current costs) so he *thought* he was covered. WRONG!! Turns out he could have been for another $10 a month, but he didn't read the fine print. You see, if the repairs are extensive enough to require a permit (where we live even changing a light switch needs a permit) then they require you to bring the repaired area up to CURRENT CODE. You cannot legally repair it and make it the way it was ... wiring ... appliances ... plumbing (including drains) ... everything has
to be reworked to CURRENT code. And replacement plus only pays to put it back EXACTLY the way it was.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is basset related because no basset wants their momPerson or dadPerson to have a heart attack because they aren't covered the way the thought they were. Pay the extra $10 a month ... it's there in the fine print.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good luck Bev.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=verdana,sans-serif>The house suffered horrible damage from the water pouring in from the unsecured roof tarps. The rain relentless. The LR ceiling is gone-- I mean GONE-- the restoration people, who will dry the house out-- have already pulled it down. The bedroom ceiling also will need to go, and two walls.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
