Repairs Being Made

The insurance adjuster finally got a hold of us so we can start the repair process. I had gotten tired of waiting for the adjuster so I called the company that is going to do the repair (Charger Enterprises), and they came out and gave us an estimate. Our deductible is $1,000, and I figured if the repairs cost around that I could go ahead and get the work done and not worry about filing a claim with the insurance company. The estimate came out to $2,700. So much for that idea.
On the way to the repair place we stopped at La-Z-Boy furniture. We had picked out 2 new recliners to replace our uncomfortable recliners that came with the trailer. We wanted to make sure they fit so we parked in the lot and put the chairs in the trailer before we committed to buy. They fit fine, so Nan went back in the store to see if they would take less for them. Because they were already sitting in the trailer, I didn’t have high hopes for a better price. After a couple of minutes, my straight-laced Christian wife came back and said "We had to pay full price. They had us by the balls."
After we purchased the chairs we drove the whole rig to a Goodwill drop-off point to get rid of the old chairs. We got the rig in the Wal Mart parking lot where the Goodwill drop-off box was, but it was very busy, and half the parking lot was under being repaved. The sign by the bin said if we left something outside the bin we could get fined $2,500 for dumping. They had a small hole in the bin to put goods in there, but the bigger door of the bin was locked. We got the chairs out of the trailer, took them to the bin, reclined them fully, and were able to cram them in that hole of the bin and get them in there. It feels good donating to poor people. Then Nan had to stop traffic coming into Wal mart so I could back the rig out and get out of Dodge.
Now we are sitting in the parking lot of the repair facility, plugged into a 30 amp plug so we have electric. Tomorrow is Thursday, so they have 2 days to work on it before the weekend begins. Our guess is we will be in Elkhart through the weekend, then head for Cleveland after the repairs are completed some time next week.
