My condolences to your in-laws BT. I cannot imagine what dealing with that situation would be like and hope never to learn of it first hand. At least they are Ok.

Sorry to hear about the dogs. Glad mom's ok, everything else is just "things".

I'm in charge of the inventory list so I'm taking pictures and recording all I can.

Here is my first table full.

Can’t tell you how many thousands of pictures we took and are still sorting through them.
I wish you well in that endeavor!

Good luck! I have been shopping insurance lately and it seems like unless you schedule your firearms or anything of remote value you don't get covered for it.

Your guns ARE covered as any other items in your home... up to the amount of your policy. If your homes contents are valued over the amount in your policy, THEN you should either raise the policy or add a rider.

^^^^^^^^This^^^^^^^^^^^^

We just changed providers and are doing the research. Looks like we will be upping the policy.

So very sorry, that's horrible. Glad your in-laws are ok, but sucks about everything else.

I know the NRA offers free insurance on guns as well, so if he is a member and filled out the form that might be a place to seek payment. Also the manufacturer of the safe usually will cover anything in the safe that was damaged up to a certain amount.

I knew that about the NRA and I asked him. He let his membership run out a years or so ago.

I'll have him check into the safe though. Thanks.

I found the .22lr Woodchucker on Monday. The stock was burnt pretty good but everything else still works. I can work the bolt pretty easy and the trigger still fires it.

He also found his model 17-4. We can open the cylinder and most of the action works. Trigger doesn't want to come back on it's own. It really doesnt seem to awful bad, compared to the other revolvers. I'll email Denny at Sand Burr and see if maybe a good going through could save it.

Kroil could be your friend with some of those sticking parts.

Good to see you might be able to save some.

Following with interest. I thought once they got this hot the temper (?) of the steel was ruined for use.

We hope for the best for your in-laws. I was following the shotgun thread when you posted about the fire. The pictures are heartbreaking. So horrible to lose pets like this. And then to add insult to injury the cars even burned.

 

[Bigtanker]

We have a survivor!!!!! Somehow this 14-4 made it out with just a good cleaning. I was able to verify it still shoots great.

nice

So sorry to hear about this. Give your in-laws hugs because they are still alive and things could have been much worse. Has anyone set up a Go-fund-me account for them yet?

Here's an observation that might be something for future reference/others to consider. We had a neighbor and a family member who both had house fires. Both homes were completely gutted. The refrigerators in both protected the contents completely. I was amazed. The neighbor's refrigerator was still cold inside after the house had been burning for a few hours, and the outside was damaged but the interior was unaffected. The cousin's refrigerator was melted shut but when we pried the door off, everything inside was completely intact...including the ketchup bottles, etc. in the door. It obviously isn't as secure as a safe, but if you had a secure location to hide one, it might be a good place to store things to protect them in the event of a fire.

Thanks. I put one up and there was a good response. The insurance is working on getting a big trailer for them to stay in until the new house is built.
