[PARTSMARTY]

AS LONG AS YOU AND FAMILY ARE FINE.WHEN<I KNOW YOU WILL> GET BACK TO BUILDING PLEASE SEND ME A P.M. AND I'LL BE GLAD TO SEND YOU SOME KITS FREE TO GET STARTED.<I HAVE ABOUT 1,000.WE DON'T WANT TO KEEP A GOOD MAN- DOWN.LET ME KNOW.

[Green Duster]

Well guys I'm back, I think. The house and all the contents is toasted. Yes the main thing is we all got out ok. The fire chief and the inspector agree that it was a electrical

fire. Yes it started in my model room. But I did have everything unplugged. We are going through the whole process with the insurance and hope to rebuild. At least it

didn't get to the garage. My Duster and the wife's Dakota R/T are fine. A friend brought over a couple of models for me to start the collection again. Kind of unnerving that

it started in the model room. Just hope I can come to terms with the insurance adjuster on the value of the collection. Not going to have a problem with all the other stuff

in the house. Even got a advance payment check from them to get started on the furniture.

Doing this on a new computer with windows 8. I'm to BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH old for this kind of stuff. Another learning curve!

I think I will take you guys up on the offer of kits in awhile.

So long for now. I will keep in touch. Brian

Hi Brian- As everyone has said, the good part is that you, your wife and your dog are alive and well. Everything else is just stuff. You need to look at this as a new beginning. You can build a house to your own design and specifications. There had to be things about your old house you didn't like, things that needed work or painting. Now everything will be all new!

And as everyone has said, I'd be happy to send you a couple models when you are ready.
