[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 653719, member: 1963"] I've come to the decision that someone in this case is blowing smoke up my behind and telling its frankincense. The insurance adjuster just left after testing the same walls the same walls the mitigation company tested yesterday. HIS instruments show the walls to be dry. He went up on the roof to check it, and after I refused to join him up there to view his findings (terrified of heights) he took a video to show me. The repairs I had down last year are still holding. The ONLY thing wrong with my roof is ONE course of shingles that is showing some signs of wear. I will have those replaced to the tune of about 300 hundred dollars if it ever quits raining. So, the mitigation company calls. I tell them of the adjuster's findings. They inform me that there is "no way everything dried out overnight". They will take readings today, but are not going to repair the vanity today. So, that's another day's "rental" on the equipment. Meanwhile, I called both the adjuster and the CEO of the mitigation company and told BOTH that effective immediately, I was no longer liasing between the two companies regarding this claim. I'm not an expert in either insurance or water damage. They need to communicate with each other and work this out as all I knew is that *I* wasn't paying any more towards this than my deductible. So, by this point, I had a good "mad" going. My mum calls for an update. I actually dropped an F-bomb while updating her, only to be informed that she knew she'd raised me and therefore was quite certain that I could expresss myself effectively without resorting to vulgar language. Only reason I didn't roll my eyes is that even at 54, I'm still not quite certain that she wouldn't have heard me roll my eyes through the phone. Just to add insult to injury, my dryer died last night. Heats up just fine. The drum won't turn. I called the appliance place I bought it from, and after a bit of "well, it IS 11 years old..." they informed me that it was most likely a belt, which is what I thought, it's an inexpensive repair, but they can't get out to do it until Tuesday, which leaves me schlepping a load of wet laundry to the Laundromat later today after the last of the circus is out of the house. I do have to admit, that getting angry is a great antidote to being stressed out. It's a pity one can't detach from one's home as long as one is living in (and throwing money at) it. On the other hand/ one can sell it and move. [/QUOTE]
