Uh oh... something tells me there more to this story...
 
Lost it all...1275 with 5 speed, tons of refurbished Bugeye parts, MGB parts, 2 TR4as and all the new parts I've been buying for a few years. A heck of a collection of tools, some were my dads, some I've had for 50+ years, but Jo and I are alive and blessed to have each other. Hope to have the power on tomorrow...guess we'll eat out tonight.��

That's aweful, Rut! Glad y'all are okay.
 
Glad you are OK indeed.
 
So sorry. Did a house go up in this too?
 
We were very lucky that I was home, just outside the shop and I called 911 as I emptied the fire extinguisher. If the fire dept had been there 5 minutes later my neighbors house would be burned to the ground! Our house survived with burned shingles, blistered paint and burst windows and we are a-ok...looking for power in the am. As to what happened we don't know...the power in the neighborhood went off and when it came back on I heard a pop or bang, ran to see what happened and the fire was going pretty good. I'll let the adjuster know what I heard and saw and go from there.

Folks that got hammered in the Fort McMurray fires last Spring made similar comments: they had their lives and that was most important, but they'd lost their memories. At least you've got your lives and a good chunk of your memories. Dang! Doug
 
Tragic. Good that it didn't spread and no one was injured.

Sooooo Sad

Very, very sorry,Rut. Just hope you have a decent insurance company and adjuster.

Kurt.
