I probably won't be around for a while - my house burned down this past Tuesday night. It's 100% loss.
No one was hurt but it's ALL gone. (At my work pc now)
Yes, I'm at work. Nothing else to do at this point. The house is being torn down Monday and the rebuild process will begin in February.
(this time I want a jacuzzi tub)

I am glad that everyone is ok,
I wish you a speedy recovery and hope you can rebuild your life quickly.
Whoooa , sorry to hear that , thats would really s*ck big time :sad:
but your getting a new house out of it :thumbs:
Holy crap that sucks!! I'm just glad nobody was hurt. I'm sorry to hear about the loss. :sad:
This happened to a friend of mine a few years back - complete loss of home and belongings. He was taking full-time classes then.
It took a few months to get everything fixed up and for the insurance to complete all the transactions, but they wound up in a home that was much better than the original and with all new appliances, clothes, etc.
Hang in there.
Things can be replaced. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gif

Sorry to hear that, dude.... My thoughts are with you and yours.
Sorry to hear, Drew.
Hope the future holds better things.
sorry to hear about that. Lost of personal and sentimental items does suck much more tand the house, but in the end all that is important is that no lives were lost in the ordeal
Not my comic books though. :sad:Quote:

Hope everything works out and you are not too cramped in your temporary lodgings. Any idea what caused the fire?
Glad no one was hurt
That is the essence of what I meant by "things" being replaceable.Quote:

The first started in the tv/vcr/dvd player. Not sure how it started, but that's what started it.
When they were inspecting the house, they asked me about my computer room in the basement... I was like "umm, I had a computer room on the second floor". Everything fell through the floor, through the livingroom, and into the basement. Amazing.
I am glad no one was hurt. And they are just "things", but when it's your "things" and it's every"thing"... A bit much to swallow.
LUCKY I had some home videos from this past summer taping the ENTIRE house before the fire. Those videos are going to be super-valuable.
Umm... Did you mean to post this in this thread?Quote:

Yes. Without realizing Drew had posted this, I made another thread titles similarly. Mine is for WOTPP purposes,.. this thread is serious. If I had seen this thread originally, then I probably wouldn't have started the other thread. So sorry for any confusion that comes out of it.Quote:

Oh yeah
:uke:
Too bad this is what it took to getcha one tho..... :sad: :sad:
Sorry to hear about your house.
Sure am glad no one got hurt. It is tough, but you will emerge on the other side of all this as a stronger person with a better perspective.
Hang in there, and NEVER trust an Insurance Adjuster.
Sorry for your loss. What Tekboy said about adjusters.
drewmaztech I'm glad your are OK and taking this in stride. Hang in there man.
Cheers from me too on coming through it physically unscathed...
And make sure your neighbours have alibis.
Glad to see you and yours all made it out safely. I'm sure it will be a rough go while you're rebuilding, but keep your patience and a sense of humor and I'm sure everything will come together again.
Damn drew, what a bummer!! https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gifQuote:

And ditto what tekboy and mobile said about the adjusters. They are low-balling everyone down here in hurricane land.
