NTXshooter Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 What's the line from The World According to Garp? "It's pre-disastered". Now you can rebuild your shop and maybe have some money left over for some new tools. Hopefully you got your bad luck out of the way for 2015. Glad no one was hurt.

mrmackc Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 We started off sad. Mr wifes baby brother,single,never married 65 years old died in Denver. Wife is his only heir. The county coronor called at 8:00 PM on Dec.30 and gave us the news.Worked all day the 31st making arrangements. Waiting for better weather next week to drive the 800 miles to settle his estate. We'll be okay only takes strength, patience, and lots of money and prayers. At least he has a good last will and testament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magwa Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 So the saga continues they have moved a 20 ft cargo container on to my place, which is getting muddy as hell with all the traffic, and there is a crew doing demo and a crew moving firewood and a crew coming tuesday to see if any of the building is salvagable but they can not start till a engineer says those parts left are ok, then there is a crew moving the parts of the tree as it is in the way and everyone is in everyones way and my peace and quiet is gone!!!!!!!

Boerboel guy Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Damn! Glad no one was hurt in that. 2015 can't possibly be worse than 2014 was... No F'ing way that's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Damn, that blows Magwa. But at least you'll have the cordwood stacked high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 MackC... sorry to hear about your BIL... my condolences... Magwa... that sucks about your shop... hope when you get in there and can survey the situation, it was all the cheap stuff that was tore up... replace it with top of the line stuff... always buy up... I went out the other day to run a few errands, fired up the Explorer and the low tire pressure light came on... ehhh, not a big deal it's been a couple months since I've checked them, only been puttering around local so it's about time... was ready to pull out and thought maybe I should take a look... damn right rear was pancake flat... looked and right out in open sight was what looked like a 22rf case stuck straight into the tread... oh well looks like a new tire is in order, I aired it up and went to the local shop to have it checked out... guy pulled a slightly deformed 223 fmj bullet out of the tire... at least it could be plugged, just wonder how it got there... I do live adjacent to Camp Lejeune so it may have been carried out by someone and dropped on the road, could have been shot off a range, way to many possibilities to make any sound decisions about it's origin... oh well lets hope that isn't going to set the stage for the new year...

Magwa Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Firewood LOL I already had 9 cords under the overhang on the shop all split and dry as a bone now they have to move all of it out on the ground and tarp it I don't need no more firewood for 3 years ... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTXshooter Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Magwa, get them to move a bunch of it up to your house and you won't have to carry firewood for the rest of the season. Mack C, sorry for your loss. Lost the MIL in November, made for a very different Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 You had 9 cords worth of that trees relatives under the shop overhang? You think maybe he was just getting even? All that noise will be gone in a hurry and hopefully you'll get back to a normal life. Hang in man, or come visit us down south while they build for a bit.
