Been almost two years since the fire , and finally everything seems to be falling back into some sense of normalcy , though nothing will ever be "normal" again ..

For better or worse I have returned

Welcome back Jack,
Sorry to hear about your fire. I 've seen the aftermath of a fire plenty of times, wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Contender

G2 with six barrels scattered around somewhere

Official cause is undetermined , pretty sure it was electrical .. Old House , been in my family since the day it was built in the late teens , only the third family to live in it , 4000 SF of Old Growth Pine and Cedar , along with logs .. Steel roof on top of tin roof on top of asphalt shingles makes for one very hot oven

Sucks man, I can't even imagine. Glad all is well, please post a pic of the new diggs to make us feel a bit better about you situation.

SawDustJack · 03-03-2009, 02:34 PM

New Diggs , posted a few a long while back , but to keep you from digging , here it is .. What was left of the other one was pushed off the hill behind this one .. It's covering about half of the footprint of the old one ..

Nate1778 · 03-03-2009, 02:39 PM

Glad to see, I imagine that was the longest two years of your life. Hope everyone made it out unscathed.

SawDustJack · 03-03-2009, 02:45 PM

No one hurt , wifes B'day no less ..

House burned May 4 '07

Laid out the stakes for this one Sep 01 '07
