Rex is giving good advice. Look at it from the standpoint of the 
adjuster. He wants to do a good job by not paying to much. He has a 
supervisor who reviews his work. You have to give the adjuster something 
to take to the supervisor so he can say this guy has provided evidence 
of value of $xx and it justifies giving him more $. Submit documents. 
Fill his file with paper that supports you position.
