Everything is finally done, so this is my final update.

Please read my Big Thank You thread here: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=18843&forum=15&0

The library after

I still have a little unpacking to do, and I haven't found a big comfy chair to give the library that "cozy" feeling again, but I'm working on it.

The bathroom turned out exactly how I wanted it though. The floor and shower are tiled with black slate, and I finally took the inaugural bath in the 18" deep tub last week. It's a dark and moody bathroom with just enough light for reading in the tub.

With my deductible and depreciation, I wasn't quite able to replace everything I lost. It came fairly close, so I'm happy enough. (I'd be happier if it had never happened. Of course.)

Words of advice. Know your insurance policy. Go get it right now and read it. You never know when something completely bizarre and random is going to happen to you. I thought I knew what my policy did and did not cover. Wrong. If you collect anything, your home owner's insurance probably isn't enough.

Thanks again for all the support.
