LOL! The floor wasn't sagging. We have the floor torn apart down to the joists now and discovered not a sagging floor but a humped up floor. The hillbilly that redid the floor the last time just patched holes in the subfloor by laying pieces of 1/4" plywood on top and nailing it down then laid the hardwood flooring over top creating humps not sags. Sad,sad, tearing up all that hardwood flooring! I'm using Advantech 4'x8' for the subfloor(50 year flooring) and laminate flooring in Darlington Oak on top of it.

When it rains, it pours! My truck was stolen at work last night. As we were talking to the police dispatch a call came in of a F150 on fire about 2 miles from my work place. Yep, it was mine. Total loss.

Yes, I have full coverage on it. The trucks value WAS just under 10 grand but I'm sure the adjuster will see it differently. Enterprise is picking me up to go get a rental in about 15 minutes. No clue as to who did it. They broke into another car parked next to mine. They left tools and bino's and only took a pack of cigarettes from it. They left my CB radio in the truck as well. I had to go ID my truck and the FD showed me pictures they took when they rolled up to it. It was totaly engulfed. It burned worse then the one we saw on the mountain ET! Even some of the body melted. It was burned in the white trash area of Johnson City.

Wasn't kids! I just got off the phone with a Washington County investigator and they have a suspect and will be bringing photos to my work to show me and see if I know him. According to him I should reconise the person. So far, Washington, Unicoi, Carter and Greene county have investigators involved in this because the suspect has done this in those areas as well. I'm wondering how long before I get a call from TBI. My insurance company is also making a big stink over this and is pushing the police. Seems they don't like handing out over $10,000. and not having someone arrested. I took the night off from work because I had such a bad migrain and ended up going to my new MD this morning. He gave me an injection and a couple of RX's for stress and the headaches. Feeling pretty good at this time.

Nope, none of them. I went to check out my truck at the impound yard and found a book in the ashes on the floor of what used to be the front passenger side. It was not mine and was not in my truck before. How do I know? It was an adult education book dealing with how to act at a job interview and fill out applications. The cover was burned off but the rest of the book was intact including hand written notes. ALL OF IT IN SPANISH. If I didn't like mexicans before I certainly do now and the two janitors at work may want to skip out on work and hope the police get to them before I do. Yes, the book and notes have a name in them.

Our janitor went missing at work. HHMMM.
The companies cameras caught my truck leaving the parking lot at 2:15 am Monday morning. It was reported on fire at 3 am. The items stolen from the other vehicles at work were recovered in the cab of my truck, although destroyed for the most part. So they went to the trouble of breaking into several vehicles, removed items, placed those items in my truck, stole my truck then burned everything.
The mentality( or lack of) of these persons is just amazing.

I have to hand it to the Erie Insurance Agency. That got right on my claim, treated me as the victim instead of a cheat like Gieco did and Monday morning I get a check($5300.) for the balance of my truck and are paying for a rental car(Jetta, beggars can't be choosers) even though I had no rental clause. I went to Bank of Tn. to see how much I could get preapproved for to go look at trucks this weekend. They said don't look but buy if I find one I like. I asked what price limit should I be looking at. Their response was that if I found a vehicle I wanted then go ahead and write a check for the amount, no limit, and they would take care of it. I found a F450 for $53,000.. I'm crazy but not stupid so I'll be going back to a dealer and test drive a F150XLT that he has. Price was $19,500.
