Sorry for the heartache, but the bright note is no one was hurt. You did not mention it. The devastation that a fire brings to your personal life, is horendous. Words can't describe.

Goose 02-28-2007 07:25 PM

Best of luck in the re-building process. At least everything is lined up and you shouldn't have to deal with any bull.

eastendlu 02-28-2007 10:17 PM

Hey Steve ,,, just talking to someone this happened too .. Mac was there also .. He said no problem the insurance company paying off on the building . They cut him a check with in a week .. Contents was another story . They said could take up to 3 months .. He hired a guy that went thru the burnt up stuff and for a percentage ,,I want to say ten . The guy wrote up all the items and pushed the paper work thru .. He said it was well worth it because the guy put every little tiny thing down .. The guy was pricing a pound of 16d nails at HD to put on the list .. ask Mac .

Sorry to hear the bad news CS. I hope you didn't loose anything that was irreplaceable. That is what really sucks. Good luck with the rebuilding.

capesams 03-02-2007 07:25 AM

With alot of phone calls,,hand shaking and thank you's . We moved into our new temp. shop[bare] ..going shopping today for for some larger pcs of equipment must have to keep going...///dug up all my coffee cans in the back yard/// but what the heck..can't take it with you...support from everyone has been great.sure takes the bite out of this mess.

the only thing that I'll miss is my grandfathers bandsaw...it was well over 100 years old...I remember as a kid standing there watching him cutting out profiles of shore birds so he could carve them into life like birds.


Bobby M the telly phoneman...how the H*** are ya:wavey:

BigFish 03-02-2007 08:58 AM

Capesams....that is a shame losing that bandsaw. Keep the memories!:uhuh:

Raven 03-02-2007 08:59 AM

Steve?
 
Did that band saw (your grandfather's) have antique value? beyond it's replacement cost?

just wondered... i know they're treating you well....

capesams 03-02-2007 01:20 PM

I'm sure it does...had pockets that the wheel shafts sat/layed in that were made of lead, that had to be oiled all the time. it was also a left cutting table..backwards of what they are today...30" wheels an cast iron one pc frame..even though its twisted and sagging,, I'm still going to hang onto it....once I can get to it.

Rockfish9 03-02-2007 01:29 PM

That is beyond terrible.... if there is anything I can just PM me, if I can help I will.... I lost everything once in a fire as a teenager, I know how it feels...

Young Salt 03-02-2007 02:02 PM

best wishes CS

yeah me too Rockfish9 ...the firemen shoveled everything out the windows of the third floor
....i'm lucky to be alive actually...

i had a door knob burn on my right hand for months after i opened the door to the inferno...
i'd be rich now! if i had kept my treasure chest of full baseball cards....and comic books...
i saved everything...

woodbutcher 03-02-2007 10:57 PM

Just thinking about it gives me a knot in my gut. Hang tough, everything that's truly irreplaceable is still breathing.

chumbucket 03-27-2007 02:02 PM

I totally missed this Capesams. Wow...How are things now in the new shop?

Chum

NEXT2NUN 03-27-2007 05:24 PM

I never saw this either. Sorry to hear this hope everything works out.

Woofish 03-27-2007 10:30 PM

Scary Deal
 
I really feel for you Steve. I have a number of out buildings and would be devistated if I had such bad luck. Hang in there.:crying:

Bass Babe 03-28-2007 07:37 AM

Sucky mcsuckalot. I'd offer you tools or rebuilding help, but I think I have a couple pieces of sandpaper and I built a shelf in wood shop in high school this one time... Suffice to say sorry bout your luck.

capesams 03-29-2007 06:36 PM
