So I am having too head back to ca until the end of the year do to the fires they have had lately( emergency contractor/ adjuster)
It's going too feel so strange not having a gun on me. It's one of those things, where I really don't want too go, but the money enovled I just can't say no.
-
do they allow non residents to transport something like a Marlin lever gun in .357mag?... Trapper length
-
Are you going to be in the northern area or the southern?
-
The camp fire, foot hills in north.
-
So basically what will you be doing Tab, rebuilding all the burnouts?
-
Nope, no way in hell you could pay me enough to do that. In ca in a disaster area, any contracting law violation is a felony. I am just there to adjust the numbers from what the "book" says they should be.
-
So in a total loss like that what do they do? Broom it off down to the slab and start over? Or does the concrete get messed up from the heat? I've often wondered about the fireplaces that are left standing. Do they still have integrity, or does the mortar get cooked to where they have to be knocked down and rebuilt as well?
-
The slab goes too. The heat does damage it( the rebar inside too) same thing with the chimney. Besides it would be very hard too demo out a slab and leave the chimney slab un touched. Even if it was fine, you would still have too remove the smoke damage. Which media blasting is the only real option( dry ice is the best option followed by soda) you would have too tent it, then blast it. Doing that is not cost effective. Most forest fires get hot enough to spontaneously combust wood.
-
Interesting about the fire damage.

So today while looking at 2 properties that are total losses, I was approached by the local sheriffs department not once, not twice, but 7 times. They all said the same thing, " we saw your truck with or plates..." They wanted too see id and asking what I was doimg/ who did I work for. I am glad too see they are aggressively going after looters and all of them were polite once I told them what I was doing there. 4 handed me thier business cards with thier direct cell on it. If I saw any thing out of place too call them. Granted me having my if as an adjuster around my neck was all that was needed. I am sure the metal clip board and the camera helped too.
Ps diesel fuel is almost $2 more a gallon here. Paying high $4xx range. I paid $3.02 at my normal spot Sunday when I filled up for the drive
-
I remember why I left. The idiocy I have experienced this week has made my brain hurt.
-
Too much money to walk away from?
-
Yep, turn a month that is always in the red, too black. Kind of hard too say no too that.

Well maybe you can gete one of those CZ 97B's now? ;)
I went out on Gunbroker and the CZ website...when those things are gone they will be gone. I almost hit the "Buy It Now" button on a BD model this morning....except I need to buy a new washer and dryer as well as pay for a metal roof I just had installed.

priorities, Rastus, priorities. You have got to get your priorities straight.

I just did that, washer and dryer were 17 years old, fridge was last month. Been a very odd year, on paper my company made money, but I spent it all on paying off equipment. More money, more problems. I really need to scale things back, but I am finally at that point where I can tackle 8 digit projects.
I am going to have to decide soon rather I just want comm'l or keep doing small residential work.
-
I just got done at the local County Assessor's Office. Since all the structures in question were removed the property tax needs to be reevaluated based on this land value from date of the fire until today. This is something that typically no big deal and most counties just do it automatically, not this one. I did a hundred and twenty-eight proud to be the average savings per customer was approximately $500. It took four hours 28 properties. Then I cut them a check for the the percentage of property tax between the fire and today.

Just finished up, leaving it o dark thirty in the morning. I can't wait to get back home
