With an improvement on your home like this, you might be eligible for further discounts on your homeowner’s insurance. You might want to call your agent – it’s worth a shot.

Handy relatives and spouses (mine included!) are fantastic. They can save you up to 300% of a cost of something (take for example, the old truck my father in law found for Husband, that was selling at a quarter of what it was worth, only because he happened to talk to someone)

It’s funny, I’ve been thinking the past few days about your repair situation, and wondering if you had been able to get anything done. I guess this answers my question
How wonderful for your in-laws to take the time and effort to come and put your doors in for you! Having such kind, generous relatives is certainly a great benefit, and it was entirely right that you should pay for the meal. I would have done the same thing.

Yeah, I’d say the doors qualify as an “emergency”, and as such, needed to get repaired one way or another. As a side note, usually, when I’m visiting someone out of town, I pay for their meal as a thank you for taking time out of their busy schedule to play host. In this case, I think it was apporopriate for you to pay for your in-laws’ meal, since they were visiting to do you the huge favor of bringing and installing your doors.
