It could be much worse. None of the oldsmobile parts were damaged

Everything else is replaceable. Just along for the ride now
At least insurance agreed to have servpro do mitigation , so , hopefully we are on the road to rebuild
Thanks for your support. I would be happy to buy you a beer when things are back to "normal"

Nice, I will definitely take you up on that if i'm in the area. I will also offer the same to yourself and any other Olds guy that might be passing through or in northern Utah...drop by the pub for a fresh pour.

Unhappy bar going going But not gone yet

Well the adjuster came out today from insurance co
I guess the bar has to go as well
If some one can use a bar with custom maple top rail on the main counter top, back bar with matching top Plus upper and lower cabinets again maple accents and doors all about 9 years old... Low low miles on this stuff... I forget how many 1000's of $$$$ this cost it is all custom done , no mass production junk
Lets make a deal,,,,,

At least snow is melting so beverages at the picnic table may be the way to go for the spring / summer this year

Cheers

Noooo! I've spent a couple/few thousand on mine just doing it myself, I couldn't even imagine what it would've cost hiring it out.

You sir, have my condolences.

Thanks for staunch support
It will work out in the end
But I am tired of doing dishes in the bath tub after the first couple weeks


cable tv was wiped out in the demo
so dropped cable box etc off today
i miss motortrend tv

I think the bar and floor was about $16,000 ten years ago
i can not even imagine what replacement for that and kitchen will be???

cheers
