Alittle fussing but still Very Excited!

Since the hurrican our insurance has been fighting us on paying for the damage done to my house. It has been one physical and mental roller coaster ride. It is just exhausting. We have recieved some money from them but not near enough to fix the house back to the way is was and should be. I just don't get it! What in the world to we pay insurance for? We pay lots of money to them IN CASE something happens. Something may happen maybe every 3-5 years. But when something does happen we are out of luck they are going to fight us for every dime! It is like all that money they got from us all that time without any claims didn't even exists! Does anyone else see a problem with this? It isn't like people are struggling as it is with the inflation of EVERYTHING!

Here is something else to think about. Once you are done fighting the insurance you have to fight the mortgage company to release the money. I mean are you serious. People go throught a diaster fight their insurance but they are a bunch of crooks. Then they have to find people to do the work, which is not easy to find trustworthy contractors who don't take advantage of the diaster situation. On top of all that you have to fight the mortgage company to give you the money to pay everyone. Most of the contractors do not care to sit and wait for the mortgage company to sit on their thumbs because they want someone to come out and look at the work and what ever else they do just to procrastinate the process. I don't understand why these people don't understand people lives have been messed with enough my mother nature we don't need man screwing even more than they already do!

Okay so anyways, where I live it is really tough to find contractors with all the damage that was done from Hurricane Ike. However, we finally found someone to start the work on our house with the little money we got from our insurance. We are super excited to get something started after 6 months of waiting and be able to do nothing. However, we are still fight the insurance company for the rest of the money they OWE us, so I hired a lawyer. You would think this would be a good idea, right! Except, apparently my lawyer has some staff that have issue with calling their clients back! Now what is a person to do?

But at least we are going to get the work started....I guess that is a start to a never ending story...lol.
