The insurance claim is going to involve a lot more work, I think. We got a listing back and there are lots of things to dispute, and our computer parts list is missing entirely.

And they want to replace my Marantz 2270 receiver with this.......thing.

Back to working on the insurance claim this morning. We're so close to having the schedule of loss done and ready to submit!

We are required to use their form, so Miriam figured out a way to overlay our tracking spreadsheet onto a scanned copy of their form to print and it saved *so* much hand-writing. We have over 50 pages of this list, at 8 items ( Read more... )

I found a Livejournal post with the model of the slide rule I lost in the fire, and a picture too! It was a bamboo Post Versatrig 1450, manufactured in Japan by Hemmi in August of 1967 by the serial number. Now I can try to price a replacement for the insurance claim. This is why I can never get rid of my Livejournal. *laughs*

It feels like we're ( Read more... )

Miriam had a monitor as a loan from work that we need to replace. It costs $879.95. Admittedly, I'm using to buying $20-$40 dollar monitors at thrift stores, but I can't imagine ever spending that much money on a monitor. Nothing could look *that* good!

"I will deal with this. Both insurers are smi on this so should be interesting to see how its handled"

Should be interesting to see how it's handled? ( Read more... )

Miriam and I are trying our best to finish the schedule of loss for the insurance claim this weekend.

The insurance form wants a place of purchase for each item. Is "next to the dumpster outside our apartment" a valid response? Because that's actually where I got at least three pieces of furniture we were using. 🙂

I'll just leave those blank.

Our insurance adjuster knows we aren't living at the condo. He was physically there with us after the fire! He is, I assume, involved in the billing for repair work. His company is *paying* for our current apartment.

But his company sent a check I was expecting to arrive, but hadn't, to the condo address. At least I have it now so I can pay the ( Read more... )

I'm looking at my insurance plan's big ol' book of benefits. Under "Treatment for Mental Disorders and Substance Abuse" there is no specific subheading for psychotherapy. Under subheading "counseling" it says "See Treatment for Mental Disorders and Substance Abuse Section." The closest thing to therapy I found is "Outpatient Mental Disorders and ( Read more... )
