Editor's Note

Thank you to everyone for sending in your contractor
referrals. I have been posting them to the website for others to reference.
Since we are looking for a contractor for my
mom as we speak I have even been calling them myself. As for the status
on my mom's house, we did get comments back from the city building department
in 5 working days just like they promised, but since there is a one year
deadline to finish the project once the permit is finalized, we are kind
of waiting to get some bids in from the contractors (or at least some comments)
before we finalize the permit. We hope it will not take a year to
complete the house, but... you never know... you have to plan for everything
you can!
Thanks again for everyone's help with this!

1. Help in "City Hall"
---
I have been in contact with Robert Houts who works in the City Code Enforcement
department. He is very interested in helping fire survivors in any way he
can. He even said he would try to do anything he could to help people in
the county.
If you have an issue that you can't seem to get
resolved try calling him to see if he can be of assistance. His number is 909-384-5241
Call him for:
-removing burnt material
from property
-removing brush and debris
-keep in touch and
give address updates in case the city needs to contact you with any type of code
enforcement information
-basically a contact in city hall for anything
else you can think of
If you remember in my last update, Peggi Hazlett
from the Mayor's office said they were not draining pools or contracting with
anyone to drain pools. Robert confirmed this, but said they are trying to
setup a program to drain swimming pools in the near future. But before
anyone is sent to your property, you will receive ample notice that it will
happen and you will have the opportunity to respond to say you have done it
yourself. If someone shows up without notice please get their contact
information and check into it.

Recently I found a 13 page booklet "Are You
Underinsured". This might be helpful if you are trying to explain
underinsurance to friends or loved one's (or even to yourself!).

Industry watchdogs
'bark' for better coverage
Gregory Crofton, gcrofton@tahoedailytribune.comFebruary 21,
2005When it comes
to homeowners insurance, no one wants to buy it, no one wants to be forced to
use it and that's precisely why the industry gets away with it, according to
watchdogs of the homeowner insurance agency.
