How much tile... floor, tub enclosure, halfway up the wall? 

Had a maple tree fall on a pool enclosure, but only caused a 6 inch rip in the screen.  

They have not demanded anything except the screen enclosure replaced (which needed).

I have a question about the Tiling in the Shower Enclosure.

One thing I notice about my insurer is it seems they want to cover less and less such as screen enclosures.

Slant Fin dummy enclosures are $55 for 8'.

I do a walk through of the property, and run some quick numbers on the tailgate of my truck before I leave.  

Such conversion need not comply with the requirements of the following specific provisions of this chapter:(a) Section 13-196-660 (height limits); however, in frame buildings, four or more levels of living space shall be prohibited and in buildings of ordinary construction, with or without attic living space, five or more levels shall be prohibited; (b) Section 13-196-050; however, all dwelling units must comply with the exit provisions of Chapter 13-160 except basement dwelling units may have a second exit through a room containing a heating plant; (c) Section 13-196-670 (stairwell enclosures); (d) Section 13-196-680 (corridor enclosures); (e) Section 13-196-690 (dwelling separations); (f) Section 13-196-710 (basement ceiling construction); however, if the basement contains a dwelling unit the entire basement ceiling construction is to be wood lath and plaster of half hour construction; (h) Section 13-196-720 (heating plants); however, basement apartments are to be separated from heating plants with partitions of one hour construction.

That may sound insignificant, but when I've had my business name plastered on my vehicle for a decade, seeing a blank tailgate is truly enlightening.
