I hope things go smooth with your insurance company.
Glad to see you back on the board!
The thing that sucks is I didnt have renters ins. I had to let it lapse cuz I couldnt afford it after I got laid off from my job in July. So right now we are at the mercy of the house owners ins company which is USAA.
From what I can tell after going into the house afterwards was that everything has smoke damage. There is no changing that. The main things that got water damage are the things in the living room. As far as that it looks like we can salvage I wanna say about 99% of everything else. The fire fighters did an AWESOME job keeping the amount of damage to a bare minimum. They actually had to cut those holes in the wall to get access to the fire. The drywall actually did its job and kept the fire contained within the wall and didnt let it spread outside of it.
