I've meant to come back and post something now that there is actually something worth writing about. Basically...
Spoke with the supplier's insurance a couple of times in late August. They blame the roofing company on delays and claim they aren't talking to them. Some local adjuster comes around and asks questions about how old the paint is for some kind of appraisal. He says they will be done in a couple of days, no need to move forward with the stabilization plan. I tell him I plan to anyway in order to keep the city happy and because the place needs to be structurally sound. In the meantime I check up on the place every few days and nothing interesting is happening.
I move forward with the construction company, they pull permits and get ready to start. Two weekends ago it rained a lot.
The blue tarps apparently wore out and there was water intrusion, basically everywhere. The plaster and drywall on the ceilings came down in large pieces, the bathroom vanity, original hardwood flooring and basically everything inside the place except for doors and trim are done. I've never seen a place so thoroughly soaked. I call their insurance again to let them know they need to send their guy out there NOW first, then the roofing company to talk about tarps, and third an attorney.
In the week since then the roofing company has been incredibly helpful. In all of their correspondence with the supplier they specified leaving materials on the ground due to power lines running along both streets (house is on the corner). There is no way to use a lift to place the materials without violating OSHA guidelines because of this, and they're lucky there wasn't a second accident. The builder put the stabilization place into effect
The supplier's insurance has done nothing. No replies to me or communication of any sort from their side. I sent the last of the pictures and files to the attorney this morning; it's in their hands now. I'm hoping that whatever comes from this also includes paying their cost because of the complete stupidity on behalf of the material supplier and their insurance provider.
