Title: Shop Destoyed By Fire 1/16/14
Post by: steviegwood on January 17, 2014, 04:58:49 am: Hi Folks, well the title says it all. My shop caught fire on Thursday afternoon and it and the fire company destroyed everything in it. I know that the insurance that I have will never rebuild and replace all of the machinery, tools and wood supply. Luckily no one was hurt physically anyway, emotionally is another story. I thought that I would let you all know. Steve

I know that seems like little consolation right now but you are very fortunate. I hope that you can rebuild soon. Thank goodness your family and you are safe! (((HUGS)))

Post by: steviegwood on January 23, 2014, 12:16:23 am: I may have forgot to say that the fire did not get my scroll saws as they are in a room in my home. Luckily I do that part in the house but it got all of my wood and my ways of dimensioning wood. Also had a file cabinet with patterns in the shop that was lost.
