Irony

We are almost 10 months out from our house fire earlier this year. Due to many circumstances, we're still awaiting payment on most of our insurance claim. Not the least of which is because one of our flaky contractors can't decide how much the bill is for. He called a couple of weeks ago and asked if we could sign off on an invoice that wasn't even close to correct. Needless to say, we said no, sent him a revised invoice, and haven't heard from him since.

So, it was kind of funny this morning to get a call from our insurance adjuster with some ironic news - our contractor has closed his doors. No wonder he seemed desperate for payment! What a roller coaster ride this has been. And, it's still not over - the window blinds that had been on back order came in damaged, and have been "being repaired" for the last two months. Sigh. I wonder if this place will ever feel like "home" again...
