Lost my home and shop, need hobby outlet

[Janderso]

Mr. Whoopee,
Are homes moving in your neck of the woods?
I would think where you live, being close to Redding, property would be at a premium.

We are doing OK. We have just found out we missed out on a nice home we over bid on.
It is going to be a time of critical housing shortages, profit taking by landlords and people selling their homes asking 20-30% over value and getting it.
I'm looking to rent shop space. Yes, I have space available but it's not convenient. It would be a weekend shop away from my wife.
Not a great situation for sure.
We have a comfortable apartment that is paid by our insurance company.

I want to send you a little something for your replacement shop nothing fancy. Can you send me a PM so I know where to send it to.

I know it's been a while, but I'm still sorry about losing your home and shop. And wondering how things are going since?
This quote is one reason I like this forum so much. We are all friends.
Ulma Doctor (and I'm sure others) have made very generous offers.

Last Thursday my wife and I were allowed up to our property with a Deputy Sheriff escort.
I hooked up the trailer, it’s ok, smells a bit but once we wipe everything down, change the bedding and give it a bath inside and out it will be fine.
Our 20 foot travel trailer will be the only normal thing left after the fire.
I can’t remember if I posted any pics.
Today, the boys, my wife and I are going back as they are lifting evacuation restrictions at 9:00am.

I am saddened by the photos, just made me think what if I lost my small shop.

More pics from today’s visit.
The revolver sat in a drawer in my entry hall for over a decade. I qualified with it every two years and cleaned and oiled it every couple months. There is some melted lead in the cylinder. The cases are still there, no bullits.
It was a Rutgers SP101 357 magnum.
The rotary table was refurbished by me. It almost made it’s 100 year old birthday. The vise is probably ok.

Wow, just Wow, that was a hot fire.

Oops, the sp101

Under the lathe is a piece of 4” Dura-bar. I bought it to make a threaded 4” backing plate for the South Bens’s 1 7/8 8tpi spindle.
It just occurred to me, the puddle of aluminum near my truck is the transmission housing and cylinder heads.

The prices for scrap metal just went down...
