When it rains.....

Oh Darlene! Where did this happen?

Kathy, I'm so sorry to read this. I know how devastating this must be for you, your dad and brother. I hope no one was injured. This is just too sad. You all sound as though you are a close family so you will be able to support one another at this time. Take care.

Jeez, you are really not having a good week. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Oh Darlene! Where did this happen?

It is way out in the country in Cullman, Alabama. Actually, it is out in middle of nowhere. It is my brothers property and he deeded an acre to my dad to move on when he sales his place in Old Town, Fl. They had the campers there because they stayed there on the weekends while they were working on the house. No one was there at the time, so thankfully no one was hurt.

Thank you all so much for your love, prayers, and concerns. I will keep you updated as I get information from my family.

I am so sorry Darlene. I sure am glad they both had insurance, at least that's a positive.

it pours. My brother is building a house. They just got the roof on last night. He had his fifth wheel camper, and my dad has his fifth wheel camper parked right beside the house. I just got a call from my dad to tell me that all three of them have burned to the ground. They don't know at this point if it was electrical or arson. The investigators are there now trying to determine what happened. It breaks my heart. My daddy and brother have worked so hard on that house. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Thank goodness all of them had insurance!!!!

Geez, I need a vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gull, I am so sorry! They say things happen in three's. So you should be done for a while. I sure hope so!!! I am glad the incident at your home didn't involve J surprising the creeps that broke in. I am glad he and the pups were unharmed. I am glad you are getting an alarm system installed.

I hope that the fire will be covered by insurance and construction can begin again soon! If you need a get-away beginning next week end , your room will be ready and waiting. ;-)

so sorry you are having a bad week - makes my hair mess pretty pale in comparison.

will be thinking of you ....

Well that really suks Darlene. All that hard work, but at least they weren't there and no one was harmed if you look on the bright side and they didn't lose any family memoirs or belongings that had special meaning.

Similar incident happened to my sister in law.
Brand new house and they were in it for about a year and the electrical was faulty. They weren't home thank goodness. But they had to buy all new clothes, furniture, you name it and live in a rental until the house was rebuilt, and they and the kids were rather traumatized for a while.

I think you need to come to the soiree next weekend and take a break.
Hugs here..........

So sorry to hear of this. BTW, our family is from Cullman.

Sometimes life treats you well, and sometimes it doesn't. Not that you and your family deserve it. Sorry sorry Darlene about this god-awful week.

...oh Darlene, that is horrible. It has to be all uphill from here.

What??? :shock: Enough is enough!!!

Sorry to hear this.

Well good, if you still have family there we are going to need help re-building a house when you are in town. ;-)

Seriously though, I appreciate all the concerns. All is going to be ok. You know I always say something good comes out of something bad, and I believe that with all my heart. I talked to my brother a few minutes ago and he and my SIL are doing really good despite everything. He told me to get my boots and jeans ready to help them rebuild. So when that time comes, that is just what I am going to do. Our whole family will help them rebuild and it will be a labor of love. I will keep you all updated with pictures when we begin.

to all of you!!!!

That's our gulll!!! :clap_1: :clap_1:

Yikes KD. Just catching up and saw this thread and the other. So, so sorry on all counts. I'm keeping your family (and you) in my thoughts and prayers. Insurance is great, but it doesn't help the lives being disrupted. Take it easy, all of you.

I second that motion!:clap_1: Come on KDW! You need some R & R and you have two rooms to pick from!

It is with great, great saddness and a heavy heart that I revive this thread. I just got a call from my stepmom a few minutes ago. I cannot believe what she just told me. My daddy and she just last Friday, got their brand new off the line last Thursday, beautiful double-wide delivered to the same property where my brothers house burned in April. The fire marshall in that fire determined the cause of the fire to be spontaneous combustion of some stripping materials left in the house. We all were very suspicous of those findings. Well, this morning the electrician went out to hook up their electricity and found their trailer on fire. It is a total loss. Next Saturday was going to be their move-in day. Needless to say, they ARE NOT moving there now. They know it was arson because their was no electricity hooked up, AND they are re-opening the case of my brother's house that burned in April. There have been some other arsons in that area as well. The sad thing is that all of my daddy's and stepmoms stuff at their house in Florida is all packed up and their house is on the market. Well, as of right now the house is coming off the market until they decide what they are going to do. I am so sad, I was so looking forward to them getting here. I know they still will, but it will be a while now. Why do people have to be so freaking mean? I know that there is a silver lining to this once again...there was no one hurt. My brother of course does not want to re-build there either. I just talked to him a few minutes ago and another sad thing is that this was my sister-in-laws, mother's home place. It is where she grew up and the land has been in her family for a very long time. They promised her that they would never sell the property. She passed away in July. Well, I told my brother sometimes promises have to be broken. I told him that she would not want her daughter or you to be in any danger. He said he just needed some time for everything to sink in, and that then they would make a decision about what to do. Please keep all of them in your prayers. Thank you for letting me get it out. I know this is long, but sometimes it is therapeutic just to write it down. You know what I mean?

I'm so sorry...I don't understand why people have to be so awful, either. I hope that there is still some good out there, and that it will find its way to your family in huge doses.

Oh my gosh! You have got to be kidding me...this is awful. What is wrong with people? Sending thoughts and hugs your way gull. KDW is this up around where you live?

Thank you NoHall.

Thank you BB. It is about 45 minutes south from my house. It is in Cullman.

Hopefully the authorities will find the party responsibile for this and handle it in the right way. Again prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family.

That's terrible and you can only hope that they find them so that they can be prosecuted and put under the jail. Sorry to your family..
