Wild Bill-bob;

Ruth's recent hair-pulling exercise WRT finding someone to insure 
her SBH in British Columbia got me wondering as to why she 
couldn't find that  information at the SB Registry, where theoretically, 
one should be able to look up the SBH that already exist in one's area 
and find  out which company provided the insurance.

One obvious problem is that not enough people are taking the time 
to register their buildings.

Another obvious problem is that many people don't bother taking out
insurance on their buildings.

However, I did notice that a number of people who did insure their 
SBH didn't bother providing the contact info of their insurer .

Why is that ?  

Perhaps it might be useful to provide an explanation with each of the
items in the questionnaire, describing why provision of some specific 
item of information will be helpful to others.  

Or another approach (which would have been helpful  to Ruth) might be
to accept paid advertising from companies who are SB-friendly .

ie  - Insurance companies and agents who are willing to issue policies for 
        SB homes
      - Banks and trust companies who will issue mortgages for SB homes
      - builders and sub-trades who have experience working on SBH
     etc.

I suspect that the revenue would be helpful in maintaining the site and 
maybe  even provide you with a bit left over to keep little Au Yuen Christensen 
in peanut butter & jam sandwiches for a day or three ?
