Fire Cont.

I talked with Kim last night at church and she told me that her, Dave and the kids were all crying last night. Poor things!!! Dave feels like his whole life is gone. They found out that the insurance only covers the structure, he didn't have insurance on the contents. He thought he did and was surprised to find out he didn't. So, he lost everything in that fire.

Also found out that he didn't start the fire, that was just a coincidence that he happened to be burning and then left to get the kids from school. The fire started in the middle of the barn and was electrical. By the time he saw the smoke there was no saving the barn as it was really going in the middle. At least he isn't the one that started the whole thing like he thought. The insurance guy is coming on Friday to assess the damage.

Kim told me that they just bought $500 in seed last week! I also found out that Dave has been laid off since Nov. Kim doesn't work either, she stays home. She may have to go out and get a job. She worked at the boys school last year but decided not too this year. It's hard to work all those hours and get billed instead of paid. They have 4 kids in that school and she worked to help pay the tuition and she got a bill for $200 a month. Gotta suck to get a bill instead of a pay check!

I wish there was something I could do to help but we don't have any farm equipment for them to use.

I also found out that the other barn/garage melted on that one side and the rafters inside where on fire and the skylights had melted. That was one very hot fire. Thank God it didn't get the gas well that was behind and to the right of the barn. That would have been something!
