Help A Hide Brother - Funds for JMGlasgow

[jrhtx]

Don’t get rid of anything without a lot of photos. Proof it was there, where it was, condition after the fire or water damage, etc.
Memory cards are cheap. Is there is any way to link the item with receipts for the more expensive items? You may want to ask before you toss.

I think I'm going to need to get a storage unit for my furniture and the rest of my stuff that is still in the house and garage that is salvageable. I'll probably get a dumpster to get rid of the garbage. The trash company picked up my cans since we suspended service for the time being.

 

[JMGlasgow]

Everything will be inventoried before it gets thrown out or listed as smoke damaged. There are items in the garage that were either given to me, I inherited, or were just old appliances, furniture and electronics I never got around to disposing of through a garage sale or otherwise. I'm not real good about keeping receipts for purchases of any kind unless it has a warranty, and even then I'm not a stickler about it. I was basically told to try to find the items as best as I can online, and depreciate them about 50%. I am having trouble placing a value on some handed down antiques, as well as hand made family heirlooms.

Up!

 

[Dta1]

Late to the game, but payment submitted. Hope it’s all moving in the right direction.

 

[Bender]

So, I’m planning to cut trees next Saturday. We have a couple saws. It really will not be that bad at all with just a couple extra hands to move the wood after it’s on the ground.
Thanks guys.

 

[JMGlasgow]

Saturday works for me.

 

[Foul Mike]

I could probably come if you just need a pickin up truck. or hauler of heavy trailers. FM

 

[JMGlasgow]

Come on up Mike.

 

[Foul Mike]

I have discussed this with My Squaw. Results later. FM
3000 Honda in the back for AC power that can move around.

 

[JMGlasgow]

Not sure I'll need power but it doesn't hurt to bring it. We are just cutting down trees. I'll PM you my address.

The policy apparently was better before it renewed and somewhere it changed and got worse. Even my agency is confused so now I don't know what is going on. I haven't hired any lawyer yet we are just talking. I had Foremost email me my policy in it's entirety and the lawyer is going over it now.

The other restoration company has a clause in their contract that the insurance won't pay for because of the way it's worded, and they weren't recommended by anyone except my adjuster which makes me suspicious. They also just happened to leave their business card on my boarded up front door not even a day after the fire.

Servpro and Service Master are in the area but they don't do everything like All Phase Restoration does. They are the contractor and are the best at what they do.

I'm not sure how much Western Sky does but they weren't recommended except by the adjuster like I said earlier.

The renewal to a lesser policy is where I would look. If you didn't request it or formally accept it or weren't specifically told about it you may have a strong argument. Getting the state insurance department involved in the issue or the claim isn't a bad strategy if it was changed without your request or acceptance. If there is an issue, your agent should be demanding a policy reformation to what you had prior to the renewal with what it should have been upon renewal. You would have to pay the additional premium that you should have paid

The restoration company should inventory everything as it is removed for either cleaning / repair or disposal. They take pics, log it and set anything aside that is questionable for review by the adjuster. If the restoration companies there don't do it, there companies that the carrier can hire to do it. Enservio is one that inventories and prices the list. You will still need to audit and validate the list.


Fwiw, I have been in the claims business for over 22 years from line adjusting on homeowners fires just like yours to managing field claim adjusters across multiple states including Wyoming and now handling claims in excess of $100M all over the world.

 

[JMGlasgow]

Thank you for the information.

 

[Foul Mike]

I'll be up Sat.

 

[powdahound76]

Up on top.

Lets see if few more internet donors can put us up past this magical number I have in my head.

It starts with a 5 and we are dang close!!!!!

Would dearly love to see that before the snail mail funds start rolling in. ?

 

[bigdaddydmd]

Envelope with my small pittance was dropped at the PO on Friday. Not sure how many days it will take to get from AZ to CO, but you should start seeing the snail mails from all the Luddites on this site coming in shortly.

 

[Foul Mike]

Jeff, what all will we be needing as to equipment Saturday?
I will PM you. FM

 

[JMGlasgow]

Sorry guys, I just got out of jury selection a bit ago.

For now I probably need chains, saws, and people who know how to drop trees where they want them to go. Still at a stand still with insurance but I probably also need help getting the rest of my belongings out of the house and into storage.

Where you want them to go? On the ground.

 

[JMGlasgow]

Yep, just drop them on the ground

 

[Bender]

I have a saw and Jeff has one. Two is good. If you want to bring more then please do. But they are not required to show up.

 

[JMGlasgow]

I haven't fired up my saw since the fire. I'm not sure if it runs or not so bring one if you have one. I was told by the insurance agency that all dead trees are to be removed. I'm cutting all of them down if possible.

Wish I was closer brother I did a lot of prologue in in Montana and Virginia I can put a tree wherever you want it but I'll just say good luck

 

[powdahound76]

Well, my friggin mailbox was full when I got home from work.

Another $650 to add to the pot and about as many letters still inbound as received.

Someone referred to me as Lord on the envelope!!! ???

So we are a ways past the 5k mark and counting.

Been a good day overall and this makes it even better.

 

[Jscb1b]

Lord farquhar?

 

[Jscb1b]

Anyhow, right fucking on!

 

[powdahound76]

Farquad in the movie you punk!!!

 

[powdahound76]

Behave or I will slap you across the face with a foley catheter just removed from an unwashed fat woman!!

 

[Jscb1b]

Damn, short people can be sensitive!

 

[powdahound76]

I am just 5’7”......
Almost 5’8” but who rounds up?

 

[Jscb1b]

I am glad I found the hide. There are a shit ton of fine people here. And the fuckery is top notch!

 

[BytorJr]

Better late than never I hope. That's one of my worst fears so I really hope all is well. Before my best friend had to be put down, I was always worried what would happen if he were in the house if something like that or a bad storm tore the place apart. Glad everybody made it out and hopefully most of what was lost is replaceable.

BTT

 

[Foul Mike]

Small saw is now running. Working on a bigger one tomorrow.

 

[D_TROS]

does anyone have dibs on the firewood??

I may be able to make it this sat. Not sure if son is wrestling or not.

[JMGlasgow]

Bender wanted the wood, he may share though. There will be plenty to go around.

 

[powdahound76]

I heard that about @Bender ...... ?

 

[JMGlasgow]

So who's coming Saturday?

I know Mike, and Bender. Who else?

 

[Bender]

Bender wanted the wood, he may share though. There will be plenty to go around.

I’ll share my wood with @D_TROS anytime. He knows some of my northern Wyoming LR buddies. I don’t know if they share wood with each other though.

where is @Redmanss.... he loves sharing Wyoming wood....

This sounded way more gay than I first thought..........Awesome.

 

[WeiserBucks]

Get a quote from a Tree Service on the removal, might be good ammo for the insurance.

 

[JMGlasgow]

Insurance won't pay for it after the fact.

I got a new adjuster from Farmers today. Things are looking better with him on the claim now.

 

[Johnny00K]

So who's coming Saturday?

I know Mike, and Bender. Who else?

50/50 if I can make it. I have a new job with my company. Didn't know it was happening and I have no idea what's going on. Went from a field engineer to a salesman during a 5 minute phone call last night. 60/40 on if that's a good thing.

Oil and gas? lol! Come up and network. I’m an O&G guy.

 

[Xshot]

Sent some cash. If it weren't for my recent brain surgery I would be there with my truck, Kubota tractor w/FEL and log splitter. It would made short work of felled trees and general property cleanup.

Best wishes to JMGlasgow, family and cleanup crew.

Yep, O&G. I'll try to make it on Saturday. Maybe I can sell you some services.

I work at the Kubota dealership here. I'm a tech.

 

[powdahound76]

I cant..... ?

However, it is the 8th celebration of one of my favorite people who has ever lived and one of the most amazing blessings I will ever receive.
So that part is cool.

I will get my hind end up there when Jeff lets us know he is ready for more help with another job, anything that needs attacked with energy. Brains, maybe not so much.......?

 

[Bender]

I’m sure he will eventually need help moving stuff out of the house after he is done battling the insurance company

 

[Jscb1b]

You getting home from work??



Sirhr

That is Lord Farquhar to the peasants!
