And yet another roofing update.
I'm getting much closer to getting the $$$ I need to do my roof. I've spoken with the "appraiser" and will schedule with him in another week or so to do the appraisal for the reverse mortgage. But there's a problem.
The requirements of the appraisal are that I have to have all my doors open to all rooms, closets, etc. and that he gets to take pictures of them all. Unfortunately, that also means the one coat closet with the security lock on it that houses all my "inventory" and ammo. I don't want anyone to take picture of my inventory or ammo in that closet, so I'm wondering what to do. Should I hide the stuff as best I can elsewhere (which isn't that good because it's kinda hard to hide the long guns)... maybe underneath the beds or something. I guess the best I can do is turn the pistol boxes around to keep the serial # labels from being exposed. Maybe put a plastic bag temporarily around the ammo boxes, etc. This, unless I am up front with the appraiser and tell him what's in there in the hopes that he'll say, no sweat... I don't need to go in there. Maybe he will, maybe he won't. I don't know. What would you do?
Second issue is with Solar. It's starting to get quite expensive. I learned today that my Utility Co (Withlacoochee Electric) requires me to carry a $1Million liability policy if my array outputs more than 10.00KwH AC (of course it does... otherwise I won't be able to have the capacity to charge an electric car). This is to protect against transmission of current back to the grid when they have it down for repairs. What's the add-on to my insurance premium? A whopping $300.00, annually, which puts my annual homeowner's premium well over $2K for the year. I really have to wonder if it's worth actually doing Solar and going for the electric car at all... if it's all going to cost that much. But we'll see. i need to run some more numbers.
I'll keep you posted. I guess I won't be getting that "Thompson" for quite a while...
