And I disagree with that Insurance chap, I would call up his office and complain, both about his assessment of the stairs and the way he treated you, they behave like bullies and hope you won't have the nerve to challenge them. Good luck to Scott on the Mayorship, looks like he would do your town proud.<br /><br />Hugs<br />BrendaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-2278937686409058342011-01-23T13:42:30.156-06:002011-01-23T13:42:30.156-06:00What a hard & disruptive time you're havin...What a hard & disruptive time you're having. Thank the heavens for good friends.

When you told me about the stairs and the adjuster saying it wasn't covered... I couldn't believe it! How the heck does he think they got so bad then? Nothing to do with the water and the travel and weightload? Sometimes you get the feeling that they think the money is coming out of their back pocket not your insurance premiums!!<br />What a good friend Scott is and what a great job he has made of your stairs and yep, I would vote him in as mayor!!voodoo vixenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05969587296959836879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-46067072251670888072011-01-22T17:34:38.636-06:002011-01-22T17:34:38.636-06:00oh yeah, good luck to Scott on the election! he su...oh yeah, good luck to Scott on the election! he sure would get my vote!Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657202600364368434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-16034376495410206262011-01-22T17:33:31.564-06:002011-01-22T17:33:31.564-06:00Holy cow! a trial for sure...and you are certainly...Holy cow! a trial for sure...and you are certainly fortunate to have such a faithful friend in Scott!

So glad no one was hurt on your crumbling stairs and it does sound like you came across more really nice and helpful people than the one jerk. That sure can be a downer when you are already all thrown off balance with things going wrong.<br />I think Scott has my vote already, what a guy!<br />You and Bleubeard take care and hang in there. It will be great when you can look at at things nice and neat again and good as new or better even!<br />oxo~*~Patty Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953758102509632020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-77747128774514499492011-01-22T16:45:03.642-06:002011-01-22T16:45:03.642-06:00man, i can't believe you're having to go t...man, i can't believe you're having to go through this again! so sorry for all of the stress you've endured! but so happy that you have such a wonderful friend! good luck on getting everything back to normal and good luck to scott on the mayor race!jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443537821852398805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-42212676745427897342011-01-22T16:37:33.944-06:002011-01-22T16:37:33.944-06:00What an ordeal, but what a good friend you have, I...What an ordeal, but what a good friend you have, I would vote for him!!<br />We've been through a similar situation, water main break, spewing freezing cold water over all of us while we tried to shut it off.
