That is really shitty
I had my house that I lived in for 20 years burn right to the ground. It was a really old house and it was completely engulfed in flames in about one minute after a kerosene can exploded.Comment

We have heat sensor alarms in our attic as well as our attached garage. And then of course smoke detectors everywhere throughout that are hard wired in and also have battery backups. The heat sensors are so damn loud when the tests are run.Comment

Nothing sucks quite like a house fire. When I was in the second grade I came home from school one day to see our farmhouse up in flames. Whole place burnt right to the ground as we stood and watched. The family farm is about 20 minutes out of the nearest town, so by the time the trucks made it out, they were pretty much just in control mode to make sure the fire didn't spread to the barn, or into the nearby trees. We lost pretty much everything. Sure insurance covers some of that, but you're basically left standing with your dick in your hand in that situation.
Trust me i know where you're coming from and Im sorry to hear this. Hope everything goes well for you. I'm sure being the holiday season people will come together to help in any way they can.Last edited by Angry Jew Cat - Banned for Life; 12-19-2009, 07:08 PM.Comment

Our friends also just had this happen. They had been away for two weeks holiday and the pipe burst a day or two after they left. Builders took a month to fix the damage.My neighbor had the exact opposite happen. A pipe bursted (not due to freezing, just freak accident) up stairs flooding their whole house. It kept running for 5 or 6 days. basically ruining the whole interior from second floor down. ALl electronics got rained on... All sheet rock and what not in the walls is ruined and fallen apart. All kitchen appliances toast.
Looks like 100k restoration. Ironically y neighbor owns a home restoration company. So it will be a cake walk for him to fix the remaining...
He came home to this on his birthday(Its his weekend home) to find his house completely fucked up and a new indoor raining feature...Comment

It's interesting how fires get reported by the media in print form. However, I did not see any printed articles in the media about me. Just some short TV mentions about me and some radio talks about me.
I don't start fires. But some people say I've started a psychological fire of perpetual progress.Last edited by fatfoo; 12-19-2009, 10:03 PM.Send me an email: [email protected]Comment
