Day 2 of Restoration and Recovery

Boy...do I wish I could say we are back to normal...ha! We are no where near close to that. Today we met with the claims adjuster to determine if it's in our interest to use them or whether we just simply go through our home & building insurance providers to cover costs for all the damage. It looks as though using the claim adjustor is best. When all is said and done, we are looking to not have to pay a single penny for the recovery and restoration of our home. Hoping the roofers who started the fire will be solely responsible. Later this afternoon the restoration and recovery service guys came to knock out our kitchen ceiling and vacuum out the insulation. Once the insulation was all out they sprayed a disinfectant. The disinfectant kills mold that may have grown since the start of the water damage. Lastly (or so we hope this is the last of the drilling and knocking down of walls), they drilled the final holes along two of our kitchen walls. Having experienced what we've dealt with thus far, I am highly considering the insurance company's offer to set us up in a hotel. Although...living in a studio room with a toddler and dog doesn't necessarily sound like a fun time ;0)

9a meeting with the head emergency restoration and recovery man tomorrow. That should be fun! More to come...
