Talked to insurance adjustor today. He thinks the shop estimate is high, which I agree with - they added a bunch of extra stuff. So I don't think we're getting the whole amount. He didn't challenge the bend at all though - just needs pictures and details about the kart. I'm guessing we're going to be eating half of this, which is about what I expected. Hopefully it's not worse though.

hi peoples

I think the hot tub I ordered for the mountain house will end up at the Denver house because still don't have a permit, price on the deck reinforcement project, let alone a completion timeline. but having a hot tub here would be nice. :)

otherwise I must report that I drove to work as 3-7 pm is supposed to be spicy weather

The wife really wants a hot tub but I would need to build a cover for it. Maybe a small swim spa.

Didn’t the other party assume responsibility? I thought I remembered that. Your agent needs to raise holy hell that you are not getting the items replaced.

Got the estimate for the hitch receiver replacement. I'll probably update it later, if at all, since it's just fine. The actual hitch took it brutally. Plus if the trailer isn't fully paid for, I need to cover the extra cost to the guy I borrowed it from.

iirc he mentioned the whole setup is $6k? so half of that is indeed less

The quote the shop gave was $4500. I'd expect we'll get about $2200-2500. Her existing kart frame, assuming it was available, is $2200 before shipping. We'll eat depreciation around 1/3 then the labor costs, etc to rebuild it will get us back to that $2200-2500 range.

Hopefully the trailer gets fully replaced so I don't have to use the hitch funds to finish paying for the trailer (friend isn't spending anything to fix trailer). If that works out to our benefit, then we'll have an extra $550, which should get us down to $1700-2000. Then I get to start the fun discussion with Wifey as to why I just spent that much on a new kart for Haley. In advance, it was nice knowing you guys. :thumbsdown:

So have I (for the whole family) but with conversation and planning. It doesn't mean that she's going to be happy about it. She's not a huge fan of Haley karting, as has been discussed before, so me going out and dropping another $2,000 will dig me very, very deep into a hole.

My agent is fucking useless. The kart isn't covered.
