Talk about a crappy month. My dad dies on the 17th of Dec and now the house burns down on the 17th of January, WTF? What's next? My mom (she's 74) got out with 2nd degree burns on her head and 1st on her arms and back and got out of the hospital yesterday and is living with my brother. Total loss on the house and a large shed/workshop that was connected to it by a covered walkway. Lost 2 cars, a Rotary car hoist, TONS of Snap-on tools, it's a mess. Neighbors were able to kick in the door of the shed and get out my late fathers truck, a golf cart, and my 250R and 350X, plus a welder, and upright tool box. In addition to my mom losing everything, I lost all my stuff from high school, my guns, a brand new set of R903 H-Traks on new Honda wheels, and some misc trike parts, owners manuals, and shop manuals. It bother's me, but in the end, its all just stuff (don't tell my mom that). I'm just glad she got out alive and thank God for good neighbors that took care of her.

On a side note if you don't have an accurate inventory of the stuff in your house (and outer buildings), do it now. We have to do it all from memory. Also get some fire safes to put the really important stuff in. My mom had 2 and they did thier job.
