I did get some advice elsewhere (not here) that said it is fraud to use
the money for anything other than the intended repairs (siding). *Most, if
not all, the replies here have said that I can use it however I want.

My hesitation comes from using the money intended for siding replacement
on the roof, and then later having a siding problem for some reason.

I guess, ultimately, the decision is mine to weigh and figure out how to
proceed. *I just don't want to run afoul of the insurance company in any

Thanks.

You're going to have to sign something when you get that moeny. *Read
