Missus is upset they're ripping the kitchen units out & chasing the plaster off the walls as it's sodden


The water has got into the cavity under the living room & that will need pumping out. I've been round to the neighbours to tell them about the water needs turning off for a while, The trouble is the stopc0ck on the lead inlet pipe is only 2" above the concrete floor & they're having trouble digging it out, The decking outside might have to be torn up yet to get at the lead pipework under the back garden, Deep joy.
A miserable experience to have to go through.

If your not happy with the loss adjuster, make a complaint and ask for him to be replaced. We had to do this after a bush fire burnt the house down. The loss adjuster visited and accused us of starting the fire. He was a ghastly man with pointed vampire back teeth and sinister looking eyes. Thankfully the insurance company apologised and had him replaced. They tried to say we were under insured but we would not have it. You don’t have to agree with everything they say
