Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

I just went out and they are starting to put the new construction up and they will be tarping it before they leave. They are very hot and tired.

My house was the model. I guess with the builder doing mass construction at that time the inspectors did not do their job. It was the wrong size lumber, not strong enough. the first floor had no pitch to drain so instead of redoing it right from the start, they then put a second floor with little shims on top of that floor. so now contractor has to rip off not only the fiberglass, but 2 floors and insulation. Adjuster was here. Said i have some coverage. Will be nervous to see how much and if at all because that was what the last adjuster said. he did not ask for a bill or estimate. Edit: thousands more now because he has to reframe. I sure hope i have some kinda coverage. Wonder how long before i know something. they are still working like crazy here, seems more home are being raised and more have been demolished. contractors all over.


i am sorry.
Just remember if you dont like how much they say you are untitled to go all Gary on them till you get a better deal! Most people dont know they have the right and take what they are offered. you pay for insurance so you are covered!! Its their job to low ball you and they even get commission on how much they can save the company!!

Did the insurance guy take pictures??? He should have. Ask him for copies. You should have your own of the damage just in case you try to fight them on how much they will settle for. Not sure how they can say if there is mold then its from the storm since it takes time for mold to form. I would think the absence of mold would prove your case that it wasnt damaged before Sandy

Im going to Silver Dollar City this weekend. Was supposed to have 2 rooms but tour place messed up. Its from the Corona win I got. Won $3000 in trip vouchers and so far she charged $500 for 2 rooms at the haunted hotel. They said it shouldve been $275. Casino trip was billed at $425 for 2 and the hotel says it only charged $300. Was charged $425 for this trip. Only reason I know how much everything is really costing is because I have had to call them and get them to pay for the rooms when Im checking in because I show up and nothing has been paid!
Added everything together with all trips and out of $3000 I only got $1800. She says she has to make a commission which I can understand but travel agents get a discount to begin with and in my opinion $1200 commission on a $3000 bill is ridiculous! I love Corona but have found out Modello is good too!

Is this woman through Corona? They would probably like to know how she's taking people.
