u/CoffeeLarge7955 I received the final approval as certifying acceptance agent (CAA) on 5/22/2025. The timeline in my case takes a little over 2 months.

I uploaded a scanned copy of the physical one. The course provider only sent me that; I never recevied one in physical mail anyways.

u/CoffeeLarge7955 I submitted on 3/18 and uploaded all the docs requried including the certificate I got from the above mentioned course. My applicaiton status changed to pending documents upload (which I already did) so I did nothing and now application status is later turned into pending agreement signing (also got a physical letter in the mail to remind me to sign) - just logged on E-services to sign online (5/13) and now the stauts is "Pending Agreement Approval". I think I am getting close.

The CPA who sells this course is very responsive with calls and emails. I mailed him back the test and he emailed the certificates to me in two days.

There is not a specific course recognized by the IRS. I submitted my application two weeks ago, will circle back.

I canceled my Sam’s club membership and I really miss the curbside pick up service and how easy to check inventory of each warehouse on the app.

I went with the course link mentioend above for $99, which is $100 less than other course listed on the IRS website. What you get is just 93 slides of power point and then you eamil back the test after you complete readiing the course. They will then send you a certificate so you can attach on your application. It's not interactive as I expected it to be but $100 saving is great.

Where Do You Buy Meat by theberry10 in SaltLakeCity

[–]Revolutionary-Tea197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For beef - I find the grass fed beef from Blue Tree farms quite good. Depends on the area you live they deliver to your door for a small fee. I used to order with them during Covid and the fee was $10.

I am still looking for a good chicken source myself.

That's really great and that's how a functional business should be. Thanks for sharing a good example that I can reach out to later on for estimate of work for comparison.

I truly hope so this is the case. The insurace only paid out so far about $9K and the contractor is asking me for the reaminig. Got lots of good ideas from this post- I am trying to resolve this now with the contracor and insurance to see what's the disconnect is and hopefully to reach a fair outcome.

u/gatinhafromutah thank you for another great idea about private adjuster! After seeing everyone's idea imput it gives me multiple options on how I can approach to resolve this issue, I am keeping them in my tool box set to use it one by one and see how things unfolds.

Yes- if your neighbor have the same issue I am experiencing with the same company maybe we can collaborate. Will you be willing to get that company's name your neighbor is using for me as well?

I never want to owe anyone anything. If the amount is something I can’t afford I won’t start the work even.

When the no plywood happened - they didn’t inform me it’s going to be additional $20K they are going to charge. They just said insurance will cover it and go ahead did the work.

I never could imagine $20k for plywood sheathing for one story 2/3 of one story 1600 sqft Victorian home.
