OK first, yes our place is paid for.
second we have home owners insurance as well as fire, liability, and more because we have a farm with animals.
Last and most important we have actual cash replacement value for our home and out buildings and everything else. in other words they can't say oh that is x years old so it is only worth $X, they have to give us what it would cost to replace whatever it is that is lost in todays market.
So if my shop burns down when I am welding they have to give me what it would cost today to replace all my tools, and you know what with the way prices have increased over the years, my plasma cutter alone would now cost 50% more than it did when I bought it.
