The upshot, though, is that while the plaintiff may find out, the Federal Rules of Evidence (specifically, Rule 411) generally keeps knowledge of the existence, let alone the limits, of any insurance policy away from the jury. See the rule, and the Notes from the Advisory Committee (which wrote the rules), at https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/fre/rule_411. Keeping that knowledge away from the jury avoids the temptation for them to rule against the defendant on the (impermissible) grounds that "well, he can afford it--he has insurance."

Don .. thanks for your idea .. I've thought of donating it. Since I'm obviously not rich .. wouldn't have built if I was .. I want to get something out of it.. tax value or parting it out if I don't just sell it.

Regards,

DWS

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I certainly didn't want to trigger such a legal discussion. I continue to contemplate what to do. SInce it's 4 degrees here .. I'll be waiting a while! :-)

Will work on a plan to sell all the tools, parts, fasteners etc.

Regards,

DWS
