[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 653638, member: 1963"] Got some bad news this AM from the mitigation guy. He came out to rip out the rest of the vanity bottom and cut new particle board to fit. While he was at it, he tested the entire wall behind the vanity,which also divides the bedroom from the bathroom. It is wet all the way up the CIELING! That's not from the plumbing. I apparently have a failing ROOF! Back last summer I had several leaks repaired and didn't claim them to the ins as they came in under my deductible. I haven't painted over the water staining on the interior. It is looking like I may need a new roof AND the entire wall ripped out and replaced. Big job. I called and opened a second new claim with the insurance company. Ate something once I got done with that, took an Ativan...and took a nap! I have finally officially reached the point of wanting to pull the covers over my head and hide. The drywall work can be done by a buyer who is "handy". Heck, I know how to do drywall work, just can't anymore due to infirmity. The mitigation company is trying to get me to sign a waiver at this point. I am refusing to. The insurance company wants me to close the claim. I am refusing to. The adjuster went semi-ballistic on the phone when I called him and told him I was opening NEW claim. Meanwhile, my house is a mess with mud and who knows what else tracked all over it, and no sense in cleaning it up because more just gets tracked in. I'm exhausted and totally stressed out. I found out from my sister who called me last night (sober, thankfully) that whomever bought Stu's and my house after the foreclosure tore it down and put up 6 townhomes, and that depresses me. It was a lovely, little prairie bungalow that we purchased and rehabbed and made our own. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I called park mgmt. and found out that it costs around 5K to junk a trailer and clean up the lot, so somehow, I've either got to figure out how to fix this mess, paying what the insurance company won't pay, pray that the insurance company will pay what it'll cost to fix it, or sell it "as is" for a pittance and git while the gittin' is good, All, I know is that I've officially hit "overstress mode". I've got Squeaky in my lap licking my chin, and once she's done getting her scritches, I think I'm gonna go squoze Thomas. [/QUOTE]
