bad morning just went straight to hell

[eviltammy]

My outbuilding caught on fire.

An ambulance/patient transport was going down the road and saw it. Guy came pounding on the door. Fully engaged, flames and smoke pouring out of it.

He moved my car for me - I park under one of those canopy things and it's on the upper drive by the shed. Back of my car is melted. Vinyl siding on the house facing the shed is melted.

One side was full of my grandfather's tools and stuff. Other side was storage - christmas tree, ornaments, old stuff of my grandparents and parents, and the lawn mower.

We'll be needing a new lawn mower. And tree. And everything.

Lights still work on the car - need to go get some red tape to cover exposed bulb. So I can still go to the funeral tomorrow.

Luckily the propane tank didn't blow up. And the house is fine, just the vinyl siding is melted. Which I'll have to replace.

Fuck.

Sorry to hear it! Bad day, indeed. :-(

Yep. Luckily the FD got here before the propane tank went up!

Thank goodness you're okay!!!

But how awful to lose your grandfather's tools and all the other stuff.

*fierce loving hugs*

I don't even know what all was lost - that was one of the things I needed to go through and see what was there. Brother will go through the ashes and see what tools he can find. Old metal tools - they probably won't have melted.

OMG. But at least you are safe and you still have a home.

Yeah - I am so glad about that. And that the propane didn't go up.
Just still a bit shaky :)

I'm just glad you're safe! I'm so glad someone saw it before it could spread.

[otterevil.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I got lucky with that! Much longer and the car would have probably exploded. And I really like my car!

And luckily the trees didn't catch too much or the family in the trailer above me might have been in danger too.

Wow.

Glad YOU are okay!!

Thanks :)

It's a weird, weird life. I'm not sure I like it.

It was scary. Then I realized it just adds to my list of weirdness :)

Oh, geez! So sorry! What a mess that must have been.

[otterevil.livejournal.com]

It is a mess - and will probably stay that way for a bit. Brother will probably clean it up, but not immediately.

Until then I'll just park in the lower drive, under the sun :)
