A sad day on the farm

[ovrszd]

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. It's a life changing event. To this day we measure timeline on things by "before the fire" or "after the fire".

I lost my shop in a fire 12 years ago. I too lost a lot of items that cannot be replaced. My insurance claim totaled $193,000. I was slightly under insured on the building. I was also slightly under insured on a heavily modified Jeep that I lost. All together I left $40K on the table.

With that said, the best part was that I had replacement insurance on the contents. The payback was very, very good. For anyone, I suggest a visit with your agent or a thorough reading of your policies. Replacement insurance is the only way to go.

There are no pluses...but being healthy and having the ability to clean up and rebuild beats having to rely on or paying someone...

So sorry for your considerable loss. Tuff setback and loads of work ahead. Thoughts and prayers.

I couldn't imagine the feelings you are going through. it's so sad . I'm sorry this happened to you.

Sincere regrets for your loss. I know how you feel - in my case it was a trimaran that was stripped and torched - burned to the waterline. I had spent several years building it and it was not insured

Just devastating

My worst nightmare. Good luck with the next effort - rebuilding or other.

One of the losses we can experience in this life is the loss of a spouse or child. But to lose one's shop? That ranks up near the loss of a family member.

Condolences for the loss of your shop and tools.
