Make your claim easier: If your home is no longer habitable, keep receipts for all expenses you incur for food and lodging outside your home. Depending on the nature of the damage and your coverage, these expenses may be reimbursed. If you do some of the work yourself, keep a record of the jobs done and the hours worked.
