Monday, Oct. 13, 2014 – Estimates on Van

Had a rough night’s sleep, as there was a strong wind blowing on and off most of the night, so it felt like we were at sea in a storm. I spent the day running around Carson City getting estimates from body shops for the van, and settled on a guy names Peter, at Battle Born at the south end of the city. He was very helpful, and could take the van in tomorrow, plus he had the best prices, and offered to repaint the left side of the van to take care of the paint that was peeling along the roof line for just an extra $200 for the entire extended quarter panel (not covered by insurance). Managed to get everything approved through my insurance company, so at least that is settled. Looking forward to getting the van back to normal, or even better! Hubby spent the day doing a few chores, servicing the generators, after learning he had put heavier oil in that was called for, which explains why we’ve had a little more trouble starting them than usual. Usually it only takes one or two pulls on these little Honda 2000’s, and we though the trouble was caused by altitude, but we haven’t been in altitude for a while, and were still having the problem. After digging around in the manual a bit, he decided to go with thinner oil, which I picked up while I was out today. Other than the wind, a nice day today!
