Just to let you know, I probably won't be able to post much for the next 4 or 5 days. The apartment next to mine had a fire, (dippy left some appliance on while he went to work,) and while it didn't do a lot of damage to my place it did get hit. My storage closet got gutted. This means all of my wife's and my summer clothes and bedding got torched and about 95% of my unbuilt minis. The closet is in the bedroom so that room got a lot of smoke damage as well as some water damage from the fire department putting the damn thing out. Also, the lovely odor of melted plastic now permeates my entire place.
Thankfully it only hit the stuff it did, but it's going to set me back about $8,000 dollars in models that I've collected over the years and you KNOW the insurance company isn't going to cover all of that.
The saving grace is that last summer I bought two of those cheap Ikea display cabinets and put all my painted stuff in there so it didn't get hurt because it was in my living room. The insurance people are here now checking things out and my wife and I will stay at her folks' house tonight as the smell is horrendous. (Go, go burnt GW plastics...) Tomorrow or the next day a company that cleans up after fires is supposed to come and clean out the closet and bedroom and deoderize the place.
As such I'll probably be out of my place for the next couple of days and only have internet access via my iPhone. (Which I will be checking here as I'm an addict and can't help myself.) I can post by it, but it's not ideal so unless something big comes up I'll be reading just to keep up, but not posting.
The two people I'm currently in trades with I'll be PM'ing.
I know HZ personally and he's done me some great deals in the past.
