Thank you all. Hoping to rebuild bigger.
No one hurt. I live in a small community in north Mississippi. Local volunteer fire dept arrived just in time. I believe in another five minutes or less the house would have caught fire from the intense heat. They used 5000 gallons of water in a short time. House has some cracked glass and warped vinyl siding on one end. Big oak tree will have to come down and that will be expensive. I'm sure I'll take a loss, but I did upgrade my insurance a few years ago with my home additions and when I began to acquire more tools so maybe it won't be so terrible.

It's tough having to go through all that ... lost our home in a flood a few years back, so I know what it feels like to deal with all the unanticipated things that come up. Glad no one was hurt, including your house, and best of luck dealing with the aftermath. -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 10/22/08 KarlC@ (the obvious) |

You must feel naked without tools. It will be good therapy to build that new shop. I bet you can't wait to begin. |

Fortunately you are not displaced. When you go for new equipment look around, many manufacturers will make you package deal. |

Having lived for some years in an area where fire is increasingly a large problem, and having friends who have lost homes, I have a feel for your loss. Keep us posted. mahalo, jo4hn |

Still underdermined. Fire dept seemed to think it may have started
with a problem with electrical transformer on pole at corner of my lot that fed electricity to my property and others in the neighborhood. Pole is burned badly and transformer is leaking, but don't know if damage came from fire in my shop or started there. Electrical service, phone, and cable was out to many of us for several hours. Temp hook up right now. Waiting for ground to dry up before replacing pole and transformer. We've had a lot of rain this spring so much of the area needs to dry before any heavy equiptment can be brought in for repairs.

He had no insurance so it was a necessity. Finally rebuilding it next month. Good luck to you & hope it all turns out best as possible. |

Get yourself a good insurance adjuster. They typically get 5%, but can get a lot more from the company than you can on your own. I know one person ready to settle a claim for $20,000 and thought it fair. Adjuster got him over $100k. |

Just another guy delurking long enough to offer my heartfelt sympathies and hopes for a speedy and generous insurance settlement. I think I'll call my agent this week and check just how well covered I am. Keep us posted on your recovery. Regards, Roy On Sat, 11 Apr 2009 15:15:14 -0500, bumhead wrote: Thank you all.

Thursday Apr 8 early morning my shop burned. Total loss. Every tool,
jig, etc. I had acquired over the past 20 plus years gone. bumhead Very sorry to hear/see. I certainly am glad it didn't progress to the house or other on the street. And I hope your insurance is good to you in getting things recovered and restored quickly. As a child I spent one Palm Sunday watching a house burn up the street from my own and folks died. It was a three floor home with basement split into an apartment per floor. The older man living on the third floor fell asleep on his couch with a lit cigarette and died. A couple of children died too. I could feel the searing heat over a block away. I still get chills every Easter remembering it. `Casper |
