EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[BantyChooks]

I am not trying to start a political issue, I really do believe none of the above can really relate to the general public. my view of politicians of every stripe is " put them all in a bag, hit the bag with a stick. you will never hit the wrong one". even the local politicians are becoming increasingly distant from the "public" in many places.

I have to agree with you on that one.

House fire, or business?

Garage, barn and shop. If the wind would have been a different direction the house likely would be gone as well. Happened Christmas day.

IMO the current Trudeau is pretty good, but yeah, I'd bet none of them have ever lived on beans or mucked out a chicken barn, ever.

ETA: Sorry, I love talking politics and often get in hot water cos I forget others are touchy about it. Need to learn to keep my filter on.

Finally back to relatively normal here, been an insane year. Business issues, health issues, major fire at Christmas, and life in general has pretty much kept me running 18 hours a day for the last little while.
 Only the fire insurance issue left to deal with, and I would not recommend that to anyone.   

Any advice for things to prepare do in case of a fire now that you have been through one? Sorry to hear that happened along with health stuff. I have not hurt my ankle again knock on wood, so my plans for the big vacation are in full swing along with spring chores.

Too true. A bunch of petty tyrants who live off the rest of us like leaches for the rest of their lives with health care and lifetime salaries none of us will ever experience.

No injuries to family or critters thankfully. I noticed the smoke coming through the attic vent on the garage early in the evening Christmas Day. Called Fire department, they arrived within 20 minutes, but I am 15 miles form the nearest town. by then the barn and shop were involved, and they did their best to protect the house, and they kept the barn damage to mostly siding and some roofing. Can not thank them enough!

Dax, the best advice I can give is take lots of photos of everything you own or have in any building once a year. keep a list of the items and a brief description with the photos somewhere off site (bank deposit box, friend, family). I was lucky, I had lots of video of all three from the past years and it was the only way I even got close to claiming most of the contents. The structures were fairly obvious, but boy did I have to provide information on the content, especially tack and tools. I know there were lots of tools and tack that I forgot, but I am satisfied with the way the Insurance company has covered it, so far.
Still do not have a garage or shop rebuilt, but I managed to salvage and repair the barn.
