"Insurance Tales"

So the Insurance Company's preferred vender has finished their quote last week. 4 weeks from when they came out to do measurements. 3 weeks from when they said it should be done. 2 weeks from when I had expected it to be done.

About $10 000 less than my contractor's quote. I regret not knowing a contractor before all this started. I would have gone with my own from the beginning. Frustrating that they requested a second quote from their preferred vender. Wonder if they'll let me get another quote from another company? Probably won't matter, as they'll go with the cheapest quote anyway. Conflict of Interest don't you think? How is this fair? Too many people in between to 'help" navigate through the Insurance Tango. People in between to keep you away from the real decision makers.

Anyway, I approved my adjuster to take the quote forward to the insurance company for approval. Now to wait a few weeks until they okay it. They better!

I also asked about the rental income I have lost over the many months that this has been going on, a loss of about $5000. Well, a new adventure begins. Sending off the copy of my lease agreement and proof of payment. Fingers crossed for some compensation. Better to ask than to not.

9 months later and getting close to somewhere...not close to a finished basement however.
