Round one...DING

We had "round one" today with the estimates for our mold "remediation"-ready? $3-$4K!!!! Yeah, that's right...$3,000-$4,000, rough estimate-for ONE WALL. Ridiculous!!! I am not sure that covered actually replacing the drywall either-I think that was strictly testing and remediation. These people make a KILLING! So, we called another company, and, we are going to have them come out. We haven't set up an appointment yet. They'll charge to give an assessment. That kind of stinks, but, most of the companies do...

Anyway, I am not thinking it's going to be much le$$ of an estimate, but, he wants us to fight with the insurance company (not sure if I posted, but, they are denying our claim for this since they are saying it's been happening over time-like, wear and tear). He said if he can determine the length of time that the mold has been there...that might help our case. So, we'll see. I'd LOVE to stick the insurance with this bill, believe you me! That's a huge chunk of change...there goes the roof and counter top monies.

Really, I wonder sometimes what's so bad about renting?!

I dunno if you can see these two pics. This was from the report sent to our insurance company. Good depictions of the state of the wall...
