pre_loss_evidence_note: "Husqvarna blower at $225 claim. Cross-ref shows pre-loss Husqvarna chain + 2-stroke oil orders on Amazon (consumables for the unit) but no main-unit order; the 150BT itself was likely dealer-bought (Husqvarna dealer or Lowes). The Lowes 2019-09-02 receipt from EASTON (visible in Gmail) is a candidate origin point — worth pulling the full Lowes body to confirm. Distinct from #4 Makita blower (different brand, different shed location)."

What's in the photo + why it's claim-relevant. Two or three sentences. Example:
"Agri-Fab pull-behind lawn sweeper, used for fall leaf collection across
the property's open lawn (~2 acres). Stored in the equipment shed which
was structurally compromised by the tree fall. Replacement value
225USD per Tractor Supply current pricing."
