finally got started about two weeks ago. contractor is coming 3 or 4 days a week, he just happens to work part time as a building inspector in my town. Also knew me (better than I knew him) as he was/is a customer of the cabinet and countertop company I worked for until 3 years ago.
the damage happened in September. lost two bathrooms and a hallway. Insurance company sent an insult instead of a check. Fast forward to last week and a third check has arrived that should be sufficient.
Fortunately we had a third full bathroom that we have been sharing for five months. Also fortunately I worked for 22 years for an old friend who owns the cabinet and countertop shop(s) and helped him grow the business...so I am pretty well set for excellent locally made quality products.
But it's not the same joyous feeling as it would have been had we decided to upgrade with remodeling as a plan. This was a disaster, but far from our worst problem...so what can you do?
