So this thread is going to serve as a record for my home improvement woes as a result of the ice and snow this past winter.
With the lack of skiing this past month due to the home issues, I figured I would share with you guys the journey I have undertaken in getting my home fixed. This all started on February 10th, and here we are March 3rd and a wall hasn't been opened up yet.
In the time that's passed, I have been dealing with the Insurance Company, unlicensed contractors (who I kick out of my house frequently), the division of insurance in the state of massachusetts and more.
Finally, I have gotten an estimate to do water mitigation in my house. That price is $5500... this only is to open the walls, and dry things out... Not to restore the house jkust yet.
Anyone who is dealing with this, make sure that you have a contractor who is properly licensed in massachusetts (if you are in mass). It's a nightmare but a processes needed to follow. Maybe just maybe if I am lucky, I will get on the snow Thursday or Saturday...
