Home Repair Update - Procrastination and Insurance

Tweet

I remember telling you that my husband's procrastination allowed the roof to leak and bring down the ceiling in two rooms and a wall in another. We also had to have the yard brush hogged twice to knock down all the overgrowth. Well, the insurance company made note of the bad roof and the overgrown yard, made the assumption that the property is vacant and is cancelling our insurance as of December 8. My husband didn't even show me the letter from the insurance company for two days. He said, "What's done is done". Well, that's not true! I immediately got on the phone and started calling insurance companies. It just so happens that there are three companies that will insure a vacant home...at a price. So far the quotes I have are $1,700-1,800 per year. I'm doing everything I can to hold my anger in. We will have to accept one of these quotes to be sure that the house is protected. Don't procrastinate...it can only lead to problems. Photo Credit: Free Images
