Well - not really. But sort of.
It's not her fault there was a leak in her bathroom - it is her fault she didn't read her policy wording where it clearly states that cover only applies to the damaged items in a suite / damaged areas of a property - so the bath has to be ripped out because the leak is underneath it and it is damaged in the process: covered. The bath has to be replaced, so might as well strip the bathroom back to brass tacks and kit it out with a whole new bathroom suite and fully tiled throughout: not covered. Getting the work done and then trying to claim back the £3500 bill was not a wise decision. So, I had the joy of explaining to her that we could only cover £1100 worth of work, with a £250 excess to deduct - and as a goodwill gesture £450 towards the cost of the undamaged items. £1300 and she is left to pay the remaining £2200

That sucks, Dana. In fact dealing with insurance should be taught in schools.

I did consider making them the same but with different coloured bowties. Do they need bowties?

I don't think so, the faces are everything.

Putting the faces on is the scariest part. Until then they are just cyphers, but they get their character from the face, and sewing is not my strong point. I never n=know how they're going to turn out.
