    old shower drain in basement

    Insured Plumbers Vs Jacklegs

    Insured Plumbers Vs Jacklegs

    Thats what the arbitration is for Thats exactly what the arbitration process prevents. If you lose in arbitration then your insurance kicks in. But having arbitration in the contract prior to using your insurance usually prevents the nuts from trying to get money from you in the first...

    Super Bowl, who is your favorite to win? 2008

    Green Bay all the way! I hate to say this but only people from Texas consider the cowboys america's team. The Patriots are lucky they are not disqualified from the play offs when they got caught cheating. The real American team is the Green Bay Packers. Steeped in tradition, owned by the...
