Light at the End of this Tunnel

It only took 9 days to get an insurance adjuster (Progressive) to come look at the damage to our motor home. But we seem to be making some headway now.
The repair facility says the entire rear cap of our motor home will have to be removed to be rebuilt. They said that should take about 40 man-hours - at $90 per hour. Then they must replace the air conditioning unit at the rear. Then they have to replace the ladder, along with cutting and re-welding the bike rack. We will have to move out for all of this work, of course. So we plan to drive our little car north to visit with our daughter Stephanie's family in Vermont. If the repair people tell us they need more time, we'll probably wander eastward, through the mountains of New Hampshire and into Maine to visit with friends.
The overall bill should be something in the neighborhood of $8,000 but we should be better than before.
