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?

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.

Terribly sorry to hear about this J. Hope the repairs are not a horrible hassle for you.

At least the yard is nice and green

Bout to ease in kitchen for a post-midnight snack

Crazy how you have to communicate with late night emails for getting correct parts & ordering

jchammond · 08-05-2020, 01:17 AM

Attention,
More information coming soon...
My neighbors 13’ Nismo was at the beach in Charleston recently & road flooded with water 1/2 way up door while parked.
Unsure details, trying to start engine, etc.....but insurance totaled car & she may have options to purchase it back.
It’s the one that I recently put the Stage 1 clutch w/Cmak + complete fluid change all over.
Z has around 68-70k on dial....only mod is cmak
