garyshipwright Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share #811 Posted May 22, 2023 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.

druxey Posted May 22, 2023 Share #812 Posted May 22, 2023 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. mtaylor 1 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allanyed Posted May 22, 2023 Share #814 Posted May 22, 2023 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? Allan Quote PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.

garyshipwright Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share #815 Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) 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.

AON Posted May 22, 2023 Share #816 Posted May 22, 2023 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. mtaylor 1 Quote Alan O'Neill "only dead fish go with the flow" Ongoing Build (31 Dec 2013) - HMS BELLEROPHON (1786), POF scratch build, scale 1:64, 74 gun 3rd rate Man of War, Arrogant Class Member of the Model Shipwrights of Niagara, Niagara Region, Ontario, Canada (2016), and the Nautical Research Guild (since 2014) Associate member of the Nautical Research and Model Ship Society (2021) Offshore member of The Society of Model Shipwrights (2021) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 Edited May 23, 2023 by garyshipwright mtaylor and AON 2 Quote HMS Montague/Alfred class by Gary B 74 gun ship built in 1779 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take all the time you need for repairs and getting through all the paperwork, construction, etc. 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 Edited May 23, 2023 by garyshipwright mtaylor 1 Quote HMS Montague/Alfred class by Gary B 74 gun ship built in 1779 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
