Yesterday evening our used parts building caught fire and burned to the ground. Since our phone lines ran through this building it has disabled them until further notice. We are also experiencing a very slow internet connection. We are working vigilantly to get at least one phone line operational and the internet to full strength. Until then please bear with us while we work through this trying time.
 
All phone lines are back up and running. Big thanks to Darren for getting the lines repaired so quickly and to Chad for getting our main water line repaired.
 
Damn guys, thats terrible! There was a lot of good stuff in there.
Hopefully you can salvage some of it. Good luck and we're hoping for a speedy recovery!
 
Thanks terry. Unfortunately most everything in the building was lost. Some pictures I took this morning of the damage. We're lucky in that our main shop only received minor damage from the heat and did not go with it. I did receive several 2nd degree burns on my body trying to save some of my stuff but I'll be ok.

Wow!!!! Sad indeed. Main thing is that no one got seriously hurt, or worse. Would hate to think of the devistation if it spread to the home. Glad every one is ok for the most part.
 
What a tragic loss for you and the IH community. Any clues on how the fire started? Silverdine on the burns will heal them fast and prevent secondary infections.
 
Quitanne and I are both sorry to hear of your loss and injury. We are glad to hear that your injuries were minor and that your loss was contained to the barn. You are in our thoughts.
 
Again thanks for all the well wishes and offers we have received thus far. At a time like this it is great to know we have a bunch of great folks who have our back!
 
I must be super slow. Just ran into this news last night on fb....
Again sorry for the huge loss and injury's you got... I am glad it was limited to an out building and not more... :(
