Happens with rain sometimes as it can evaporate on the way down. |

I had one replaced at a evil local family owned place last year for around $180. He asked if I could be there at 7 the next morning and said it would take less than an hour. I went for a walk after I dropped it off and he called a half hour later telling me it would be done shortly and I should start walking back. It took 40 minutes total. They even reattached the inspection stickers saving a trip to get new stickers. |

I had a *new windshield installed* two years ago, was done in my driveway. I have full glass coverage with my auto policy (no deductible). If I had to pay for the windshield and labor it would have cost close to $600. There is no way you had a new windshield installed for that price... a new windshield alone costs like twice $200 and what about labor/travel... perhaps that $200 is your deductible. >Thanks!

Funny, I never gave >that pebble or small rock a second thought when it hit but add cold >temps, and there you go. Sucks. Your insurance company will find you an auto glass shop close to home where you can make an appointment to have your windshield replaced while you wait. When one has glass coverage on their auto policy (most do) the insurance company negotiates the price so you never know the actual cost... you pay the deductible only if there one. |

Lost power for 48 hours, but the house didn't go below 58 degrees with just the 4 burners on top of the stove running, and melting snow for water to flush with, all day both days. 1 stockpot of snow = 2" of water. Kept me busy inside as DH shoveled. Then a neighbor came with a backhoe and did the driveway. Greyhound bounded 2 giant leaps into the snow up to his shoulders, did a u-ey and came back in, & crossed his legs til dad dug him paths. And he loves snow, I guess just not up to and covering his hoohoo and butt. The Jack Russel terrorista just peed on the partially cleared deck, brat. At least we have gas stove so we can still cook. And they are talking another 16" tonight & tomorrow. I wanna go to Aruba!! Nan In DE |
