Thanks Gary-

Since I have another building on the property that could max out the 
additional structures money available (10% of policy limit), the 
insurance agent told me to insure that structure separately on the 
policy which then leaves the 10% for the tower.

HOWEVER, it still get back to Actual Cash Value and determining what 
they will pay. It's a crap shoot how an adjuster would come up with a 
number. (Scenario - /"Oh, you only paid $x,000 for that used tower? 
Well, we need to depreciate it further!!"/ Back to square one and start 
project over for another year or more).

Obviously REPLACEMENT COST is the best route; but not available through 
my present insurance company.
