I had a kitchen fire recently with all the associated smoke damage mitigation. One of the "leave it where it is" commands I gave was a good sofa (that I bought second hand off my brother) which I really liked and (almost) perfectly fit in the space. One of those things where I was probably just over some threshold of various processes (and insurance coverages) kicking in though not really necessary for a lot of things. Pushed back on some and will see how successfully at the end of the day.

One problem is that no one is incentivized to save you a lot of inconvenience and a year of living in a house that's not really set up yet.
