Just an update on what is happening.
The shop is empty. Serve Pro took EVERYTHING in two piles, cleanable and un-salvageable.
Anything plastic or with any wiring or motor went in the un-salvageable pile.
Drills, chain saw, pressure washer, leaf blower, sonic cleaner, speakers, laptop, camera,
fishing gear, camping gear, ect....all un-salvageable.
This pile the insurance company will make me an offer & if I choose to buy it new they will
reimburse me he difference.

Anything metal OR paper they can clean. What a relief, since ALL my Ruger reference books,
pictures, memorabilia, cardboard pistol and 10-22 boxes were in there. Also all my leather
holsters & belts, they say can be cleaned. Hoping they are correct :D .
Safes are cleaned and are in the shipping container (in the driveway). So far no smell. Time will tell.

All for now.......

Cheers,
JAY

Here I am today in the process.....

The insurance adjuster cashed me out since the estimates he was
getting from general contractors was a lot more than my insured value.
I should be ok with the local guys I know.
A few pics from this weekend and after my guys were here today.
Cheers,
JAY

What a disaster! Were you able to use the old slab?

Glad you were able to salvage some of your items and moving forward on your new building.

Pretty much all that is left is the old slab and the poles!!
I know enough contractors that want to work that I should
be able to end up with a better building and some $ left over.
today's pics.

Looking good buddy! You've made lemonade out of lemons and are doing some nice upgrades in the process.

Jay I am glad you are getting things back to normal. I know recovery from a fire can be tough. Looks great!
