We love pex, and from what I understand it can freeze but won't break- it has the ability to expand up to 3x in size which will accommodate the ice.  

Finding an RMLO is NOT easy that will sign off on proving the "ability to repay" but they're out there.

I'd look at the ability to ask questions and what kind of personal attention there may be.

@Bob Bowling Im not arguing that point.

What is appropriate is a properly constructed package built on a solid commercial policy form with the ability to offer appropriate coverage for assets under any stage of occupancy or renovation, a simple monthly reporting format with no minimum earned premiums, the ability to waive co-insurance requirements, with no location limits, with the ability to insure multiple controlling entities, offer coverage in all 50 states, special form coverage with theft and vandalism and the ability to actually reduce premiums incrementally by aggregating locations, just to name a few little things.Hope this helps.

My first thought was all that knowledge and mental ability yet most of those I met had actually accomplished very little in their lives, the highest IQ there had been a night time janitor for 30 years and didn't apparently spend any of that time trying to solve some problem of some kind, definitely not an Einstein, they seemed happy though.

What you're describing feels like commingling personal and LLC assets, and may threaten the ability of your LLC to act as a legal barrier.  

I filled it out to the best of my ability and she said she would turn it in yesterday or today.
