yup very fix able lol. house got re wired, central a/c installed. there was very little structural damage. they did have to sand blast all the wood framing, then paint it with a sealer that kills the smoke smell.

new kitchen from the ground up, we had them move the one wall 3 feet further back to make the kitchen bigger too. new bath room too. pretty much re furbished the whole house.

funny part is my parents bought the house in 63 for like 16,000 bucks. my mom sold it for 300,000 10 years ago. insurance paid for the house to be fixed, so she made out ok in the end.

we did live in a "after disaster trailer" in the drive way for well over 6 months maybe closer to a year. that was also covered by insurance.
 
nope, sold it. it was a bad few years, my dad died, then the house burned up, the cat got ran over, then my grand mother died.

she was all alone in the house and said f it, im moving to south NJ, she got a nice house in a retirement community, got the house for 60 or 70. lived there for 6 years or so, fixed it up some over that time, then sold that place for 160,000, bam made more money lol

her accountant talked her in to getting an apartment, as its cheaper in the end really, being you dont pay for repairs to the property. something goes wrong, she calls the super up, they come unclog drains, fix a/c units, hot water heaters all that crap. live in handy men on site 24/7.
 


Looked at another house tonight. This makes 2 within 2 weeks which is a lot for us.

I loved the first one, Lee hated it.
I hated this one tonight, and Lee seems to like it.




I'm really starting to hate this house crap. Just buy some ground and build a new one already. Because we clearly can't find one that makes us both happy.

My 2yo niece is moving in with me and nieces, I'm told, live on a more-or-less strict diet of television. So, I went out at and bought a convertor box at midnight with beer and hooked up cables running to an antenna. Picks up 19 good channels, at least one of which appears to be only cartoons. I think my niece owes me a drink.
 


Yea I know everyone is telling me whatever I do avoid getting dry sockets. So far so good. The pain is bearable considering I've been waiting about 3 months in pain for them to come out this is nothing. Actually it was 5 teeth, one was just a root that the tooth broke off years ago that I had done at the same time. God I can't stop thinking about actually food lol.

house fire, well kinda caused by me, and kinda not.

i came home piss drunk, the power went out, i lit a candle, it was in a proper holder and all. and i passed out. next thing i knew i woke up to most of my basement. aka my room on fire.

the only thing i can think of is the cat knocked the candle over onto the couch as it was the starting point of the fire, my uncle was on the fire dept, so i got this from them as well as my own accounts, the fire was largest for sure by the couch when i woke up. flames were crawling on the ceiling and were starting to go up the stairs, aka my way out. i literally ran out of the house in nothing more then underwear.

and to boot it was a Friday, i had just got paid, had my whole pay check was in my pants pocket, dont you know my pants burnt up along with my paycheck.

i also lost my "Who" tickets to the fire, but got obstructed view seats by bring in the burnt stubs. if i had that safe at the time, thats where they would have been for sure lol

you have no idea how loud a fire can be until your in the middle of a room on fire. sick stuff. and the house would have burned to the ground if my uncle was not there, he knew the floor plan of the house and was able to lead a team into the basement and get it under control. lost the whole basement, the kitchen and dinning room to fire, those were the first two room at the top of the stairs, the rest of the house suffered major smoke damage.

i was also told i pretty much saved the house by leaving the back door open, it opened in, and was right in line with the stair case. so when the door was open it closed off the door way to the dining room and the rest of the house. there were 50 foot flames shooting out of the back door. the photos the fire dept took during the fire were nothing short of spectacular.

Sounds kinda like my dad. I was like 2 at the time so 1990ish. There was a huge ice storm, our power was out so my mom took me to my grandparents house to stay. Well my dad was a tree trimmer, and was out on emergency calls. Well that night he came home like wasted out of his gourd. Lit a candle... passed out... knocked it over with his arm (has a burn mark still) and the rest is toast. It used to be a little apartment on top of a general store in a tiny Kansas town. The only thing that I have left from before the fire is two stuffed animals. Squeaky a red mouse, and Ralph a dog with a badass coat.
 


fire really does just take everything. even if its not burnt up, it will stink for ever.

at least you got your dad and a few toys back, could have been way worse.

when ever im looking back at this time in my life, i know im lucky to be here still, i dodged a huge ass bullet.

and to think i walked home cause i was to drunk to drive, ( at 20, your never to drunk) thought i was doing the right thing, then torch the house inadvertently.
