Hi guys,
Been pretty busy last few weeks. On the three day weekend on Saturday, wife was cleaning the garage and putting up Christmas decorations in the attic and getting ready to put her TJ hard top hanger up. I was out back working on her TJ swapping the rearend, and she started screaming. I ran to the front , and my neighbor was yelling her name. As I was running up, I could see flames coming out of the eaves and vents in the roof, so I ran into her garage and up into the attic, and knew it was too late. I ran down and moved her car out of the driveway while another neighbor ran in to get Robyn and find the cats. Once I got the cars all out of the way, I could see the neighbor and Robyn running out with the cats. Then the 4 adjoining cities each came with two fire trucks. It was mayhem.
Anyway, that is why I haven't been around lately. We have been homeless and now finally renting a new home while ours is getting rebuilt.
It was crazy, nothing I have ever experienced before. Lucky I have great home owners insurance so far. We have Amica and they just jumped right in and started taking care of everything including taking care of us and the cats. We are doing good despite everything. It is difficult working and taking care of everything. I haven't had much time to work on the Jeep and the temps are now into the triple digits so It is difficult but I am planning on getting under the Jeep this weekend stay tuned for updates.
Here is a couple of pictures of the devastation.
Hopefully I will have some good after pictures in a few months!
I am hoping now that we are finally in a house now, that I can come back here and play again soon.
