I had a fire ........

[86_Notch]

Sorry guys for not being very active here lately, I've had a run of bad luck. I looked for several months for an extended cab ford f 250 with a 460, 5 speed and 4 wheel drive ( this combination is not exactly growing on trees ). Took an all day road trip to pick up the truck on sat, drove it home , tagged it tuesday and friday night it burned to the ground in my pole building. I didn't realize that there was a recall on the truck warning that this could happen due to something in the electrical system. Talk about bad luck, also, because of an administrative snafu my insurance isn't going to cover the damage so I've got to fix this out of my pocket. On to the pics

I sold my black mustang but it did ruin my project car. It was a clean 4 cyl coupe that I just had painted. I was going to swap in a mild 351 and have a nice street car. The old green truck runs fine and I'll fix it up. The quads have a lot of smoke damage and need to be stripped down and repainted along with replacing the melted seats but mechanically I think they're ok. All of the helmets were melted. I scrapped the truck and mustang and altho the building might not look too bad I've got to strip it down to the frame and put on new roof trusses , all new tin and windows.

Holy crap. Id be soo pissed.

Fire is a funny thing, It melted stuff all the way on the other side of the garage but there were magazines and papers no more then 10 feet from the truck that were basically untouched. Seems like the lower the things were to the ground the less they were damaged .

 

[Awk08]

and how is it that your homeowners isn't covering at least the building ?

 

[blasterdemon7]

Let me know what you need for the F150. Ill see what I can come up with at work.

 

[86_Notch]

It's a long story but basically I didn't have coverage. I was bundled but dropped my auto ins for another company but wanted to keep my H.O. insurance. Apparently they dropped everything. It's my fault for not following up with them tho. Luckily the house didn't burn down or I'd really be S.O.L.

Thanks Neil, First, I've gotta figure out what's the best way to start tackling this cleanup .

 

[86_Notch]

Damn dude, Im sorry to see what happened! That's a mess! But as a firefighter myself, I will say I've seen way worse, and when all's said and done, it could have turned deadly. At least nobody was hurt, and the damage can always be fixed with time and materials.
