7 FINE OSHAWA HOME -- GLENMAR CRESCENT Undercover Jobs Prove Important The watch are within the case, not/fountains and reservoirs. important parts of ajof pipe for drains, water lines, ! of the Dark Ages, water lines were scarcely used. It was not until 1613 that city engineers in London endeavored to pipe in fresh water from @ nearby spring by using hollow logs. Then as now, the plumbing system was built around the piping and although modern} plumbing systems are a far cry service line that will supply enough water for, say, an extra bathroom or powder room iater on, an automatic dishwasher, extra faucets for gardening work -- and all at full-flow pressure. It's a good idea, too, to go CRUELEST BLOW Earlier this year a home- owner completed extensive re- modeling of his home. He en- chosed a stun porch, installed wall paneling in two rooms, put wall-to-wall carpeting in three rooms and a new tile floor in the kitchen. He also installed a mew furnace and had the house completely rewired. Less than three months later, fire destroyed everything. The fire was tragic enough, but the cruelest blow was yet to come -- for this homeowner had neglected to "remodel" his insurance when he remodeled his home. His insurance (a policy he'd carried for years) protected his home against loss up to $8,000. he contents were insured for another $2,500. His insurance company delivered a check for the $10,500 total within a few days of the fire. days of the fire, But the homeowner was still a $5,500 loser. Replacement cost Fire Insurance Often Too Low $11,009 and an inventory of the contents placed their worth at about 35,000. Walter H. Vernier, executive vice president of State Farm Fire and Casualty, says situa- tions such as this are mot rare. He estimates that a very impor- tant number of the homeowners are underinsured today. "People will make improve- ments -- even add a room or two -- yet neglect to add to their insurance protection," Ver- nier says. He also points out that many people are underinsured because the general rise in property value and material costs has in- creased the value of their homes -- perhaps without any major improvements being made. "Houses which were worth $10,000 to $15,000 in 1950 may be jworth $15,000 to $20,000 today," Vernier says, 'Unfortunately, many « them are still insured for their 1950 value. If there's a loss, however, the replacement |costs will be 1964 costs -- not 1950 -- and this homeowner Is going to end up short." derinsured? State Farm has these suggestions: Z --Go over your fire insurance or homeowners policy today with your insurance agent. See that it provides adequate funds for replacing any loss you might sustain. --Make such a checkup a yearly routine. If any, additions or improvements are made, be sure similar additions are made to your insurance coverage. --Take yearly inventories of the contents of your home. Seemingly minor additions -- maybe a new sofa, end . table, hi-fi set or even new clothes -- increase your personal property value and potential loss. Be sure your insurance on these con- tents is adequate. The best basis for determining how much insurance is enough is. replacement cost. If you're not sure about how much it would cost you to rebuilt your home and replace the contents, your insurance agent may be able to help you -- or can give you the name of a- competent appraiser who can.
