Looks like we had a re-launch around here.
I've been having a hard time keeping up with you guys as I am not sure that I should share my daily work anymore. I haven't signed any secrets act or anything like that but I am not sure my boss wants all sorts or airport systems up on the internet.
I survived the Alaska Earthquake. Lost a toilet, the chimney, my retaining wall and my hot water heater stopped working a couple of days after. Changed the toilet and hot water heater out and hauled a truck load of broken glass and stuff to the dump.
Got to get back on track soon.
Take care everyone.

Glad you found the new place and even happier you got through that ordeal. Sounds like you got through reasonably intact.
Hope all is well.

Thanks JAFE!
The Camaro took a pounding but Hagerty is on that. Worst Earthquake of my lifetime.
Not sure what got this place :(

Something like that sure does underline how quickly things can change, and not a chance is hell of stopping it.
Leaves one to ride it out and pick up the pieces, got hit by a tornado a few years, back... Hope I never see one of those again. The hood looked like a war zone, and I know what that looks like. Somehow seemed much worse driving out of the hood than it did overseas. Only thing missing, the dead in the streets.
Glad you and the family came out unscathed.....lost the toilet :-\ :-) having some fun with that..
Cheers,
Pep

Never lived near a tornado zone, not sure that I could. I am used to earthquakes but not tornados. The devil you know and all that. Never been in a war zone either and I don't want to.
The family came through fine. My daughter was at school and the ceiling collapsed but the kids have been drilled since kindergarten to dive under the desks in an earthquake and when it fell they were all under cover. No fatalities in the whole earthquake, which makes the property damage seem unimportant. No one dies and only minor injuries statewide. We can all live with that.
Also we have two toilets, the downstairs toilet was unscathed.
Thanks for the well wishes.

Glad everything worked out OK, and that you and your family are safe.
Welcome back!

Welcome back. I saw some news coverage of the damage. Those earthquakes really jack things up. :-\

Great to hear from the great white north. Been wondering about you and glad you and family are ok after the shaker. As far as posting pics about your work, don't worry about posting any pics as we don't need those and you certainly wouldn't want to catch any grief over that.
-
Yeah welcome back mate, its good to see you here again.
-
Welcome back, and glad you made it through the quake.
-
wow, sucks that you had to go through all that but good to hear that things are getting back to normal.
welcome back!

Good to hear of a survivor, whew. Was told once that in an earthquake that one mans toilet had an eruption of water out of the stool as the underground soil pipe was crushed, wondered if it were true?
