Hi every one and hope every one is doing fine. Been having a bit of bad luck going on with the house, had a little fire about a month ago and working on getting the house a make over in the up and coming month's. Hopefully we will get to move back in, in about 6 month's or so. Seems like a long time but keeping busy so the time doesn't drag on.  Hoping the good crew can help me out. I posted a list of my books but I can't seem to find it and hoping some one will have come across it. Need to turn a couple of my book's in but thankfully the biggest part of the libaray is in the addition in the work shop. Thank you and will be back before you know it. Gary

I'm sorry to read about your bad luck, Gary. I hope you will be back home in under the six months you figure it will take. Where is this list of books you mention?

 

Best wishes as you get things back together again.

Hi druxey and thank you. At the moment it's some where on the form but other then that, no ideal. Am hoping that some one will come across it and let me know were to find it. Thank you again and have my finger's crossed. Gary

Hi Gary,

I feel awful about what has happened.   I found the  Portia Takakjian list that you posted back in the day but not your own.  Was it up before the big crash 10 years ago?

Hi Allan and thank you. Do believe it was after the big  crash. Only thing I can remember is that it was posted to give folk's a ideal of what books one may see what is out there. Some of my most important books were in the den so am trying to find them so I can claim them on the insurance. I  do think I have enough info from photo's of the book's  in the den but having that list just help me. Thanks again Allan. Gary

I am sorry to learn what you've got to go through with all this.  What I've learned is I best get some photos as proof of what I have accumulated for any insurance claim.

What horrible news.  Hope your life returns to some semblance of normal before the year's end.

I am so sorry to hear about your situation. I recall coming across this posting of yours regarding the library, is it the one you are looking for:

This is great advice, even for books    When I look at the value of some of my own books it is substantial so photos will be taken and saved as soon as we get home from vacation.

I am going to hazard a guess.  BINGO!

I'm sorry to hear about the fire but it's good that everyone is unharmed.   Take all the time you need for repairs and getting through all the paperwork, construction, etc.

Thanks Alan. One of the best things to do other then photos of every thing is make sure you have enough insurance to recoup every thing you have. The best thing is 95 percent of the books was in the work shop addition. Of course I miss the 5 percent that was in the den. 😭Gary

Thanks Toni. They have us in a condo at the moment and has a little semblance of normal but nothing like home that's for sure.

Hi Mark. Every one is fine and the dog's to. You are so right about this and it will take some time for the repairs. Getting the paper work done is a whole different ball game. Trying to list every thing that you have  in your home is very time consuming, but having photo's of the den and the rest of the personal items does help. Never knew I had so much stuff. Thank you again. Gary
