Insurance Inspection.

Oh dear.  Have been so busy cleaning and painting, and painting and cleaning that the posts have been neglected.  Please forgive me.  Will try to post more often.

Got a letter from the insurance company.  Apparently they came by during one of the few times I left the house to run to the hardware store or grab a bite to eat.  They saw that the lock box was on the front door still (the sellers never came to take it off the door so it’s still there) and thought the property was abandoned.  The letter stated that we had fifteen days to occupy the property or they would cancel our insurance.  ACK! 

Called the insurance company right away talked to a wonderful young lady.  We figured that the inspector must have never left the car because if they did, they would see through the window all of the stuff in the front living room that I am using to fix the house up.  I promised to get the lock box off the house by the end of the week and she promised to have the inspector come out to look at the house and take their photos next week or so.

On the back of the lock box is an 800 number to the sellers contracting company that does lock boxes.  So I called the number.  Got a nice guy on the phone.  Told him about the lock box.  He asked for the ID number on the box.  He then stated that they didn’t want it anymore and I could do what I wanted with it.  That’s great, but, how to get it off the door.  He laughed and put me on hold.  Apparently he hadn’t thought about that.  When he came back, he had gotten permission from his supervisor to give me the code to get it off the door.  Thank goodness.  Now I have a bonus lock box, but not sure if it would be ok to use it again.  Will have to think about it.

Since the insurance company only wants to look at the outside and take photos for their files, I wonder if they will even knock on the door?  So just waiting for that insurance inspection.
