They will absolutely cover a leak that went unnoticed for a period of time. I do insurance jobs regularly, in fact I just remodeled a kitchen where a dishwasher was leaking for an extended period of time and ruined the hardwood floor and the cabinets wicked up the water. The client got 45k from their insurance to install new cabinets, granite countertops, hardwood floors etc….

A New England summer trip is just about the greatest thing there is! Start in Mystic, CT (small but cute), head north into RI to the beaches in South County, stop for oysters at Matunuck Oyster Bar (sit on the roof - awesome view), and Ocean Mist for drinks. There's a huge amount of history throughout RI and the rest of NE, so I'd suggest googling "oldests" and "firsts" to find things you're interested in. Newport is awesome for history, mansions, architecture, lighthouses, and oldest Tavern in U.S. (Whitehorse, est 1673). Providence is a culinary paradise, with tons of history too. RI has many of the oldest churches & houses of worship in the U.S. because it was founded on the belief of religious tolerance, which is cool. Be sure to try coffee milk (RI' s state drink), Del's Lemonade (you'll find it at the beach), stuffies (stuffed quahogs, which are clams), clam cakes, hot wieners, RI chowder, and Italian food on Federal Hill. That's a pretty solid visit to RI :)

chainsaws are a must have if you want to tame the suroundind lands

for instance many years ago the property i lived on would often flood wen it raind, back into the house

the land was backd up against a swampy woods, so one spring im sick of the situation, i go out into the swamp to find the drain plug, some way to drain the swamp away from my property...i locate the lay of the land through the forest to drain the swamp

so i get my chainsaw and go out to the swamp woods and blaze a trail for the swamp water to drain....i do this for like a mile through the swamp forest..all the while watching with satisfaction the swamp fallowing my trail i cut....hey todays st patties day the swamp water fled like st patties snakes ......and that did the trick......never again.......ever since there is no swamp water problem at my house thanx to that sweet sweet chainsaw action in the swamp forest
