  In a few words, you can say that life partners Renee Dominique and Brian Smith have been through it — and then some.
  Almost a year ago, the couple’s home in Eagle Rock was destroyed by fire, thrusting them into a confusing whirlwind of insurance companies, adjusters, inspectors, architects, pushy sub-contractors and as Smith put it, even some shysters.
  It’s an experience they’re still working out, living in their second temporary dwelling, while awaiting word on recently
