Whit, I feel bad I did not respond to your post. What a great exciting time to be a part of purchasing a new home, especially the kind you have to fix. It will have so much value to you when you are done. I will try and help wherever I can.
So to update, last year in March, we lost our shop in the fire. I had no insurance. Not sure if you all heard the story, but I dropped my insurance company I had, they didn't want to insure me because I didn't have sealed electrical boxes and switches. I had new quotes, and I procrastinated and did not get it taken care of. I mean, who's shop would really burn down? Anyway, it was deemed an accident, but it was shown by the fire department to have started in my unit. No criminal liability, but an insurance company is coming after me for $40,000 in damages. Warner Cabinets is an LLC, so I have an attorney helping me right now to make sure they don't come after me personally. As far as the company, I am closing it as Warner Cabinets and Millwork, LLC and opening another one as Quality Woodworks, LLC. Start over...again!
So, I try to grasp what's going through my mind...why me?...why again?...when will the bleeding stop? My answer is, we all have our problems, and I like mine better than others. There are so many worse things going on in peoples lives right now, I would much rather have the problems I have. I still have faith that I can handle what is placed before me. So, we handle it. Robin is a great partner to have. She still has faith in me, and my abilities. Wierd thing, we are acually getting busy. I have 2 entertainment centers lined up, a re-finish job in the works, and another huge entertainment center that just called me a couple days ago. I have a new home, and another one that I think I am getting any day now.
My kids are heathy, my wife is healthy, I have my home, we have our needs met as far as food and clothing. We are working on our food supply, and have a lot of it. Robin is working on regular foods we eat everyday, and making sure we have 3 months supply. We are working toward eliminating our debt. We still don't have a backyard, but I think we will do grass for the time being and some trees. And we are going to plant a big garden with Ken and Amy in our backyard.
What's the point of all this babeling? Be grateful for who we are and what we go through. We are all being put through the refiners fire. We need to make sure we do our best to get through problems. Work hard, give service, and be thankful for what we have and who we have in our lives. Because, in an instant, that can change!
Love you all, my family, my people!
And here's a pic to remember!
