I am sorry about your family's gigantic misfortune. I am glad you have your pets, great attitude and hopefully good insurance. Sounds like you were lucky to get anything from the house at all. Holly smokes, you saved the car! You are a true car guy Mister Riefle.

Glad everyone got out OK including the car. Hopefully you have good insurance that will take care of everything you can think of. Start writing anything down you can think of. Any pictures, reciepts, owners manuals if you can salvage from the aftermath. Compile a list and replacement cost of everything you can. Then be ready for what they say it's worth. I know this doesn't help but i just started a home inventory business just for things like this or robbery. I come to a clients home and document everything for them. Serial numbers model numbers take pictures and a DVD that they can put in a safety deposit box just for situations just like this. Sorry to hear and good luck. Sorry so long.

hey mike very sorry about the house and all but thk god for no
lifes being lost including the pets, godspeed to you my brother,
i hope yur insurance kicks in, there was a man in the news and
his apartment burned, all lost, he had no rental insurance, only
the clothes on his back and his wife and 2 kids, but he man was
smiling cheek to cheek and when interviewed he said, "im just
gratfule we all survived and all can get replaced", granted he
did not have all the racing goodies you did, but man it is great
when the real important things in life are appreciated, godspeed :wink:

Hey I am real sorry that happend. Sure glad to hear you & your family are alive though. That is pretty cool you got the race car to fire up so quick... not all of us could have done the same when when a race car is always in repair or racked. must be a hard thing to go through, but stick together & keep the faith. God Bless, Scooter

I am truly thankful to God that you and yours came out of this ok. Other than the loss of property. I once had a newly built house we were 2 weeks from moving in burn to the ground because of an electrical fire. Again glad you all are ok.
