It's certainly an alternative. It might be prudent to hold off on the
decision until we all meet with the adjuster and see if it is necessary based
upon what she tell us about her position on the claim. If we are still at an
impasse and there is no open option against SWPC, then we can always have
another expert of our choosing present when the next inspection takes place.

A thought. As it appears that SW is insistent that the generator has been a
total loss from the beginning, and that the surveyor/adjuster are not
convinced of that, would you want to hire and outside expert to give an
opinion? I'm sure with the help of Jim Sutherland we can come up with a
panel of experts for you to pick from to make an independent exam on our
behalf. Do you want me to pursue this?
