Swiss Re/Canadian Underwriter/ICLR webinar: Making flood insurable for Canadian homeowners; How costly is it 2have hardwood floors redone? Also, will homeowners insurance pay 2 fix foundation problem?

At present, homeowners in Canada cannot purchase overland flood insurance and instead are left to rely on government-provided financial assistance programs after flood events. However, insurance companies already have well-established methods for assessing and paying claims, which can result in a faster recovery for communities. Tune in to hear experts from Swiss Re and the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction (ICLR) discuss ways to better protect Canadian homeowners against damage from overland flood.

Question by caddi814: How costly is it 2have hardwood floors redone? Also, will homeowners insurance pay 2 fix foundation problem?
I want to have someone come in & sand and refinish my harwood floors. Ive been told to just rent a sander myself, but a friend i know did that & ended up with “humps” in her flooring, and eventually just covered it up with carpet. So I def. want to leave it up to the professionals. I live in Northern Alabama, my house is 2,200 square feet aproximately. But two of my rooms are carpets, hence, it wouldnt apply to those rooms. is it unheard of for the flooring company to do finiancing with them [it would help].
Also my ceiling has cracks now, and the doors wont shut all the way [so im almost certain its a foundation problem]. My mom just paid $ 4,000 for her foundation to be fixed. =( that’s too much. any chance homeowners insurance will pay for that?

Memphis: Sun Studio – Home to Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis; What are the first steps in making a home business?

It’s truly impossible to determine where rock ‘n’ roll was actually born, but Sun Studio in Memphis has as strong a claim as anywhere else. (Except, perhaps, Little Richard’s loins.) Founded in 1950 by Sam Phillips, the studio—and its accompanying record label, Sun Records—was undeniably important in the history of the genre.Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis both graced Sun’s tiny floors, but of course the most notable resident was Elvis Presley, who had a musical epiphany in the recording studio in 1953 with the song “That’s All Right.” In a way, Sun acted like indie labels did 20 years ago, nurturing young talent until bigger fish came along to snatch them away, as was the case with Elvis. After Presley moved on, Sun saw a serious dip in business, but his legacy eventually proved big enough to keep it afloat.U2 recorded a few songs at Sun for Rattle And Hum, and other artists have followed suit. According to our tour guide, Bob Dylan stopped by just to kiss the ground.These days, Sun offers tours during the day and still records bands at night. PBS recently began airing Sun Studio Sessions, with modern artists—from The Walkmen to Eli Reed—performing songs in the legendary space.

Do your research to see if there are other things similar to what your trying to do. Then see how much it will cost and who are you targeting. Make your idea stand out. With different types of food etc.
