Im sorry for your loss. Have any idea on what could have started the fire ???

kojiki88 · 01-03-2011, 10:50 AM

I'm sorry for your loss. Thankfully no one got hurt and everything else can be replaced. Good luck

stockbee · 01-03-2011, 01:15 PM

Glad to hear everything is going to work out alright, but it still sucks that happened.

TwItCh · 01-03-2011, 02:58 PM

upsdude · 01-03-2011, 03:06 PM

psulja · 01-03-2011, 04:46 PM

EnjoiNISMO · 01-03-2011, 06:29 PM

Damn thats crazy, Thats always stuff you hear about but never think it will ever happen. Glad everyone made it out okay including the dog!

Hope everything gets better bro. Sorry to hear.

mkezzo16 · 01-03-2011, 06:39 PM

Like you said ..parts can be replaced..glad you were able to make it to 2011 with us..feeling how ur staying positive about the situation..Im sure you'll be back to your build in no time

stone184 · 01-03-2011, 07:33 PM

That sucks man! Good luck with everything in the future!

Imarvin240 · 01-08-2011, 02:24 PM

Thanks again everyone! Found some car parts in the house today hah only had to search under about 2 feet of wood, stone, ect. hah my sway bar was bent at about a 45 degree angle

I'll have to take some pics of this stuff. So far, none of the parts are actually useable but eh, insurance should be able to cover it. I think some of the parts i had in my storage unit, i will be selling soon just because the build will not be started again for at least a few months. Also, i think since i lost most of the parts, il go in a different direction with the car...since im basically starting from scratch. But just so everyone knows, i will not give up on this build

Thanks again for the support, everyone! Means alot.

***Future240*** · 01-08-2011, 11:16 PM

Fuck dude that blows. I really am glad you all made it out ok. I hope that company pays for everything 5X over.

I personally hate this saying because if something bad happens I can never define the reason, or get an answer to why it happened. I Hate the saying, HATE IT! But ur right it coulda been worse dude, a human life is far more valuable than material things. The parts can be replaced, but yourfamily cant. In this situation it might be hard to be optimistic but u gotta always look on the bright side of things...sorry for ur losses, best of luck to ya.

I feel your pain. We lost our apartment to a fire a few months ago: Apartment fire in Ghent area of Norfolk| wavy.com, and just last week the house we moved into was robbed over Christmas weekend.

Just be aware that you can claim the things you lost as Causality Losses in your federal taxes.

redline racer510 · 01-09-2011, 06:07 PM

Get an attorney quick and how ever much you lost financially due to the fire do not settle. Take them for every penny they got and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. Sorry for the loss I know how it feels.

HAWAII · 01-09-2011, 06:19 PM

Wow! to the post above me. What kind of thinking is that?

First off I'm sorry about the fire and the damages it caused you and your family. Glad to know that you are healthy to survive and live to tel about it. I am happy to know that your family is all OK.

To the poster above me, I am not really sure where you are coming off saying "take everything that they got" I do realize that it is the heating company's fault but did you not think about their family that has nothing to do with what the heating company owner did?

Taking everything is GREED, and that will kill you my friend. Let them pay for all the physical damages and other damages that occured, Fine them and take away their heating license so they don't do it to someone else BUT leave some to them so they can get back on their feet after everything has been said and done.

That should be the way it is and not, "TAKE EVERYTHING THEY GOT" you are not going to get far in life with that attitude.

Imarvin240 · 02-23-2011, 09:08 PM

well, its time to update the status of the house hah. we have been taking it down for a couple months now and have been cleaning up all of crap from the burned down sections of the house. there is only about 2/3 of the house left standing...and another 1/3 still needs to come down but the snow has stopped that from happening for a little bit hah. we were trying to keep the one stone wall that was part of the garage...but yesturday the wind thought other wise and decided to take it down

on another note, the insourance company decided that they would cover my car parts even though they should ony be insouredby an auto insourance...they only agreed to because we had a long talk with them about it. well...here are some pics of its current state.

they have gone through about 30 of these dumpsters now.

you can see that where the one guy is standing, was a room hah not anymore!

the big mess from the garage is all cleaned up!

the wall that we had wanted to keep

thank you again for all of the encouraging words and everything guys...truly means alot.

Om1kron · 02-23-2011, 09:24 PM

fuck, like you said, they're just car parts. Look on the bright side now you can go borg warner with your full race turbo set up if you're silly enough to build a 240 and not buy a lambo with that arab money the insurance company will pay you.

=)

And most of all your family and dog is safe.

97240TB · 02-23-2011, 09:28 PM

Sorry to hear about the house and the parts, but it's great to hear you and your whole family (Dog included.) Got out safe and sound. Goodluck with your case and Hopefully you can get everything back up and running as soon as possible!

J90lude · 02-23-2011, 10:26 PM

Fuck, that sucks bawls. You and your family are lucky tho.

90white240 · 02-24-2011, 12:16 PM

Better for the wall to have fallen now then later.... Glad to hear everything is working out for you bud.

blueshark123 · 02-24-2011, 12:20 PM

jesse_s13 · 02-24-2011, 12:32 PM
