Thank you for not gate keeping and taking the time to give newbies an Idea of what to look for and what your markings mean.

Public adjusters have a bad reputation in this industry. I see people in the comments being so rude to you, but I love your responses. You’re even trying to help the rude people. Thanks for the info homie
