called off work this morning due to being sick, 10 minutes later a knock on the door. those early morning knocks are never good. our rental house next door was on fire, just being close to finishing up after we purchased it after it caught fire 2 yrs ago.was not finished yet so no insurance severe damage,i live in the country so fire service is slow. i guess ill have more grass to mow!

| Sorry to hear man. Don't know what to say. Hopefully no one was hurt? And if not, try to be thankful for that. |

Jeff Sorry to hear that. I like your attitude about the mowing. Ironically, I recently purchased a house that we are fixing up to rent out. I bought it for the huge detached garage that I am keeping for myself. This past weekend I was thinking of taking the dwelling insurance off until I get a renter (keeping liability) because of the high cost of insuring the unoccupied house (double the occupied cost). I think I'll keep it on. ------------- Play hard, life's not a trial run. '85 BFN '90 BFN White Lake, Michigan |

Jeff, Any fire is a loss but you have the correct attitude. Yes, just keep moving forward. At least it sounds like there weren't any injuries. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Sorry to hear about the fire. Just talked with Steve Bunda last night who is restoring our 55 Chris Craft Continental. He said his friends' boat shop burnt down in the last few days. A few customer's boats, some of his own and lots of other odd pieces now gone. Steve instructed me to get insurance although the boat isn't done! Glad no one was hurt! ------------- |

I don't know what to say, I can only imagine how this must affect your family and plans. I am very sorry to hear about this. You can view it as a life restoration I guess. I am confident you have the skills to get through. ------------- For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died.
