All is well on our scorched Homefront, for now.
We have about 40 feet of backyard fencing that needs to be replaced and the insurance adjuster also decided to have all attic insulation replaced to help remove the permanent 'campfire' smell. I suppose we're getting used to it as we can hardly smell it now but the adjuster said it was "like a punch in the face". If you have any suggestions for a contractor to use I'm all ears.
Overall we having nothing but fantastic things to say about Nationwide Insurance especially considering the ink was barely dry on the policy when the fire hit us.
In terms of this thread, yes.....a couple bug-out bags is on the list. We actually scored a few other things as well due to our recent move. My prettier half found some cool stuff we never knew we needed. (enter gratuitous cash register sound here :laughing)
Wishing you good luck and quite nights sleep regarding the next wave of Red Flag Day fun. Hopefully our side is burned down enough for us to sit this one out....but I'm not counting on it.
