Ditto on all the labeling stuff. You can always call your DSL or cable company for some help if you have trouble getting stuff going again. Best of luck...can't wait to see your new carpet. Sorry you've been through so much aggravation...maybe you can file a complaint with the BBB on the contractor and with the State Ins. Licensing board or whoever insurance agencies have to report to.

Except my insurance had me call a water damage specialist right away, We ripped out the vanity, walls, ceiling, carpet, etc.... in the bathroom, bedroom and hallway. They brought in huge... fans for a couple of days. I worked really hard at getting everyone to replace things ASAP. It went very well until it came to the last thing. The plumber!!! He took at least a month to get there. I did all of the priming,painting and hanging wallpaper. The insurance company paid me.. to do it. if you do any work yourself keep track of your time. Maybe they'll pay you, too!! I hope the carpet goes well. I used to sell flooring for about 4 years. (I also sold furniture, etc). I can't understand forgetting about somebody. <BR/> Hugs, TerrieTerrie's Lil' Piece of Serenityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498637369385340227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290257839007576851.post-17770416937580728532009-01-04T21:02:00.000-06:002009-01-04T21:02:00.000-06:00I'd have to agree with all of those who have said ...I'd have to agree with all of those who have said to make tags and either # them or indicate in some way on them, where they should be plugged in.<BR/><BR/>This is what has helped me in all my many moves since I got the computer and before that...with DVD/CD players.
