Conversation I Had With State Farm

Me: I have a house insured with you, and I need to increase the insured value… we’ve done a little work on it.

Insurance Agent: Okay, it says your house was 950 square feet, has that changed?

Me: Yes, its 1927 sq ft now.

Insurance Agent: And 2 bedrooms, 1 bath?

Me: Actually 3 bedrooms, 2 baths.

Insurance Agent:  Still have aluminum siding?

Me: No it’s all cedar siding now.

Insurance Agent: Same 3-tab roof shingles?

Me: No, they’re new, dimensional shingles.

Insurance Agent: Vinyl windows?

Me: Nope. Aluminum clad.

Insurance Agent: Carpet inside?

Me: Ah, actually… no. It’s mostly hardwood.

Insurance Agent: So… is any part of the house the same?

Me: …

Me: I think one of the closets is in the same spot.

Insurance Agent: Okay then.

  8. Don’t forget to make sure the livestock barn is covered. And the garage probably needs its coverage increased – especially for the value of the bathroom tile!

I'm not interested in a mediocre life. I'm here to kick ass or die.

THE STORYTELLER

Back in 2004 I started writing about my adventures in fixing up houses on the internet. A lot of things have changed since then, with me, with my houses, and with the internet. These days I am basically a cranky old man trapped in a slightly less old woman’s body. The internet has changed and I am staunchly refusing to change with it. You won’t find any algorithms here, or feeds, or ads, or social media. Just good old-fashioned stories about a woman drinking beer and building shit, and living an unexpected life.
