Solar Slavery [RE-wrenches]

[Jeff Clearwater]

<x-flowed>

Hi Chris,

You should shop around,  I recently had to get $4M/$2M for a job and 
got it for a total of $4200 including $1M Auto.  We did it by adding 
an "umbrella" to an existing $2m/$1M policy.  Even though I might 
have really scored on this one - I did get several quotes in the 
$5K-$8K range.   Show your insurance broker these emails!

Best of Luck to you!
