The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXVII

JLarson · 08-05-2020, 07:36 AM

Yesterday turned into a fairly good reminder of why you sometimes need a literal rainy day fund. Wife called me at work informing me that the back wall of the garage had collapsed into the garage itself, and a mixture of mud and water had followed it in. The Z was in the garage, along with all of my tools and a good bit of other stuff. I talked her through backing the Z out of the garage, rushed home, and we managed to pretty much carry everything of much value out.

Still hadn't collapsed so I took apart some of my work bench for materials, braced the 2x4s against the ceiling on 3 floor jacks, and that's how it sits.

Then another tree came down in my yard and missed taking out the power line to the house by literal inches (it hit the line but did not take it out).

Power was out till around midnight. Stuff happens but man yesterday can suck a fat one. Oh and our insurance company pretty much told us there's no way they'd cover that kind of damage since it involves water and movement of earth.

Good Wednesday Morning All. 104* for the high with 0% chance of rain. Not much happening on this side of town so hope you all have a great Wednesday. Stay Safe Stay Positive and Keep Washing Those Hands.

Well, do they cover it if the rest of it accidentally catches fire from the tree that fell over and landed in the firepit knocking a burning stick high into the air and it landed right on the roof?

Stuff happens. I'd appreciate it if it didn't all happen in one day, but we'll be ok, just a bit frustrating. I really didn't expect this much flooding in PA!

Well I almost got one side done on the M3. I got the new bushing pressed in about 80% of the way when my threaded rod snapped. Looks like I'm going to order a specialty tool for this crap

Recent word on my neighbors Z, it was saltwater from the marsh that flooded in & got as high as seat bottoms....lights were flickering by themselves & killed battery.
Insurance company deemed total loss & she supposed to be finding out buy back price.

Rusty · 08-05-2020, 09:01 AM

I'z up.

No rain today. High of 81F.

That sucks. I would read the fine print of your insurance policy to see what it says.

How much rain did you get? Seeing on the news that Upper Darby area got hammered.
