At my house, a year ago today. Time flies when you’re replacing nearly everything you own.

lol still sucks...

in the 6 or 7 years ive lived here... ive seen a fire truck in my street exactly once

and it was coz my daughter got her ass trapped in the elevator for the flat down the street (that she was not supposed to be in)(much less riding up and down all day long)

that was about 3 weeks after we moved here... everyone knows us now :p

I’ve seen a grand total of one fire truck in my street and that was the muppets across the street were doing burnouts in the backyard and someone thought that their house was on fire

You had insurance right?  And the claim went well?

A fire is the worst kind of property disaster (if that is what happened to you), at least in a flood or strong wind you can salvage some stuff, but fire just burns it all.

Wow, that’s been a year already? Time flies.

That tire is fighting me tooth and nail. I should've just taken it to a tire shop and had them dismount it. I threw away most of the tire today, but both beads are still on it, plus a bit of sidewall.

The actual flames were contained to 2 rooms, but smoke damage is a bitch. It's a lot of work to get the smell out so for most things it's not really worth it.

Ye esh. I'm sorry it's turned out to be such a pain, if it can fit in a box as-is I'd say send it. I'll end up taking it to a tire shop to mount a new tire anyway.

That’s a Pierce Ariel probably purchased between 2009 and 2011. Most new rigs have roll up doors on the compartments. If it’s South Ogden, UT my dad designed and spec’s that truck.

It is indeed UT. What does your dad do?

He worked up to Batlion Chief in a department here in WA then contracted with a few companies to build and spec trucks up and down the West coast and into Utah and Idaho

If memory serves I was still in college and living in Sugarhouse when he delivered that truck.
