Re: Sad Q day here-Welcome to my nightmare

Sorry for your loss, David.  You probably should seek a court judgment
against the two families just to have in place in the event they win the
lottery or something.

Everyone also should consult their insurance agency regarding outbuilding
and storage contents coverage.   Talk to the licensed agent, not the
clerical worker handling renewals.  You CAN insure ANYTHING against such
losses through either a separate policy or a rider to your general
coverage.  All you need to do is find the knowledgeable agent to point you
to the correct coverage for your circumstances.   Some things are
irreplaceable, but a cash settlement can take some of the "burn" out of the
loss.
