[Elecraft] Rig Insurance

[Jim Lowman]

You make a good point, about homeowners' insurance.

A couple of years ago, we had a hot water leak in the wall between the 
kitchen and the bathroom.

Our homeowners' insurance covered not only a complete kitchen and 
bathroom remodel, but also the hotel room and meals when we were 
displaced from the house.
It cost the company in the realm of $35,000, and I didn't notice the 
rate increasing the following year.
If it did, it was probably a small increase due to the increased value 
of the house and property.
