Steve, that sort of takes the fun out of it. Officially got the house back today. A couple little thing left to finish. Servicemaster brought a bunch of things back today as well. Brian came over and helped me put up the wall mount for the bigscreen TV. A company bringing back some clothes for me thursday. Lots of boxes everywhere. Still no furniture yet except for 2 folding chairs. LOL Service master brought my tools back today as well, down in the garage. I guess the garage will be pretty crowded again soon. Need everything of course. All my kitchen stuff lost in the fire as well as stuff in the kitchen, like parts. Need bed and couch and a lazy boy recliner. Amazing how much stuff is in a kitchen. Lots of settling in plus have to get my little bit of stuff from the townhouse to the house. Brian is pretty handy and has been a real help. Thanks buddy.

Been slowly moving things into the house. Just had a washer and drier delivered today. Went and picked up a bed and night stand and got them to the house, with some help of course. Still need to get a couch and looking at lounge chairs as well. Hope to have it all in soon. The builder had to fix a couple things and I had to make a couple changes too. Still not real sure of the plan of attack with the front door and screen door. Making progress though.

Today, Blue27 (Bruce) and his wife Alyssa came down and led the way to go through boxes of returned tools and parts and returning them to my tool box I couldn't have done this near this fast without their guidance. Alot of tools, boxes and packing paper were gone through. It was a big step in regaining some lost space in the garage to make room for returning machinery and parts as well as making sure I didn't stop filling up the living room again. LOL Went and had a nice lunch at GandM. Found a box upstairs that had a couple parts as well and had to check other box descriptions to see if they had parts as well. Found some snowman plates, don't know where they came from and an old Reba Mcintire Casette tape of unknown origin as well. LOL Now I just really need to get a couch and get the rest of the townhouse stuff over to the new and improved house. I need to pick up some missing sockets as well. A major thanks to Bruce and Alyssa for spending their precious Sunday with me.

It was a good day hanging out with Pat, and we made some progress. Its amazing what you forget that you have,lol

[Dirtcrasher]

Hey guys, thanks very much for helping Pat out so much; He is well deserving of it!!

Good Man!!

Well its been a long road for Pat, but he is offically living in his house again!!! Today we helped to move the rest of his things from the rental townhome and back into his house. As some know, at Trikefest there was some money raised for Pat. He refused any offers on the forum, so we did it at TF to keep it on the down low,lol. He can not refuse it after it is installed. The money went to purchase some new shelving, better lighting and a workbench. We had My wife and MRSOUNDs wife be as sneaky as woman can be and get him out of the house to buy paper towels holders and stuff while we assembled the items. Pat was surprised and VERY Thankfull to all the members here. (he is currently offline at home until the internet gets hooked back up "sometime in August"). There will be more shelving puchased as things progress, and the parts are cleaned and returned from storage.

All of you are unbelieveable, Thank you so much. How absolutely humbled I was to say the least. A little teary eyed as well. I can't thank everyone enough. Your kindness and support and generosity is off the charts. There is so much to do to try and get everything back together and everyone has given me a helping hand in one way or another. It's really overwhelming. I'm here at work on the internet since my verizon isn't hooked up yet. I hope to be back on soon. Playing lots of solitaire. And a really special Thanks to the Pa crew for helping me getting things moved and reorganized. The ladies input has been greatfully appreciated as well. I'm not very fashion coordinated and as most of you have known, had 3 wheelers in my living room and parts everywhere, so I've been appreciating all the adult suggestions and advice. Let along how much more quickly all the help has been to getting me better organized. Like the song says, "What a long strange trip it's been". Please feel free to keep an eye on me and give me helpful hints and crap as well if I stray. It's appreciated, believe me. Still a ways to go, but progressing forward in ways that I never really imagined. Thanks again everyone.

Wish I could have made it to help this weekend Pat but it just wasnt in the cards. Glad everything is going well though! I need to stop in soon, I have some stuff for you!

Vealmonkey did your Tiger 500 survive? I didn't read all this so I thought I would ask.
