So I have been shopping for homeowner’s insurance for a few weeks in preparation for closing day. Several companies refused outright. I found a few costly options. Then State Farm offered an reasonable policy and sent a representative out to the house. The agent called me yesterday and said there is something you NEED to do in order to get coverage. I paused and held my breath. He said we want you to fix the back gutter that is hanging and then are good. Does the irony of this request strike anyone else. Age has given me several gifts: one of which is to occasionally comply without questioning. The gutter will be fixed today.
Our last dance...
