Summary: <p>Ash trees are dying fast. Not just at our house, but across the Hudson Valley. This has made me learn a lot about taking care of trees (e.g., the PINE method for tree care: prune, inspect, nourish and extend), meet a shirtless tree caregiver, and find an expert to ask all my questions about insurance.</p> <p><em><strong>Scot Hastie of Pardee’s Agency</strong></em> in Kingston, NY, thankfully came to rescue us cidiots, tackling a thorough Q&A across homeowners, auto and commercial insurance. We talk about what insurance covers (and doesn't) when it comes to trees falling, septic systems breaking, hitting animals, running a business out of your home, and more. </p> <p>You’ll find the full Q&A on the Cidiot blog: <a href="https://www.cidiot.com/blog/insurance-qa-for-cidiots/">https://www.cidiot.com/blog/insurance-qa-for-cidiots/</a></p> <p>Here’s how to contact Scot Hastie directly; tell ‘em Cidiot sent ya:</p> <ul> <li>email: <a href="//shastie@pardeesinsurance.net" target="_blank">shastie@pardeesinsurance.net</a> </li> <li>phone: 845-331-0025 x1940</li> <li>web: <a href="https://www.worldinsurance.com/pardees-insurance-agency-0" target="_blank">Pardee's Agency</a> (A World Company)</li> </ul> <p>Thanks to Scot Hastie at Pardee's Agency in Kingston and to <a href="https://www.sunflowernatural.com/" target="_blank"><em><strong>Sunflower Market</strong></em></a>, with stores in Woodstock and Rhinebeck, for supporting Cidiot this season.</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cidiot/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cidiot/support" rel="payment">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cidiot/support</a>
