The damage could be a lot worse - I was lucky:

After sleeping on it last night, I am going to suck up the deductible and have her fixed. I have insurance, I don't want her rusting, and I want her to keep her value since I'm planning on keeping her for a long time.
The insurance company has been called. I'm bringing her in for an appraisal on Friday morning at 8:00 to the shop that will be doing all of the work over on Felton Street. The insurance company will pay them directly and all I'll have to worry about is the deductible. I have rental coverage, and the insurance company will also arrange all of that for me so that when I drop her off at the shop for work they'll meet me there with my rental. Now lets do this thing, or something! Here's hoping that they can get my car in soonish so that I can get this whole thing over with.
We've rescheduled the garage door installation for the day before Thanksgiving. I guess the delay in shelling out that money is a good one, and gives more time for saving (considering this new auto expense).

Insulation
Nov. 5th, 2008 10:49 amThe guys are finishing up the job today, earlier than planned. My bill is also $400 less than quoted due to some insulation they've found in a couple of areas (the fridge 'nook' in the kitchen, one wall in our den). They said that a lot of stuff blew into the attic through this job, so one of the guys has been up there a lot over the week cleaning. They are letting the dust settle and will go up and do one more cleaning. At least it can't be as bad as when our roof was done!
The coolest thing, is that since we started this whole process the rebate from National Grid has gone from $750 to $2000. In addition, the feds renewed the income tax deductions for these kinds of repairs (and increased the amount too I think). What a good time to do this!
All in all these guys have been very pleasant to work with. I think that the price was fair, they were very professional and I've learned a lot about our house and how it works. If you're ever looking for one:
