Rob,
So sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you get things back in order soon. I know this was just gut wrenching for you.
I must tell you though about what your Podcast about this did for me. I was listening to it last night (Monday, October 30) at about 3:00 a.m. through my TIVO. I had no idea what your disaster had been, curiosity got to me and forced me to listen then. Boy, was I glad I did because I was having electrical work done in my home today for my new 150 gallon aquarium. I am having two dedicated circuits put in for it to run off of, but I had forgotten to tell the electrician that I needed
GFI plugs. So after listening to you tell about your problem and how the
GFIs had come to your rescue I got immediately up at 3:30 am and left my husband a note that we MUST get in touch with the electrician before he came today and make sure he would put in
GFIs.
Apparently not one of us had thought of it even though we knew better. If I had not listened when I did and you had not been so passionate about using them I probably would have had the work done without them and had to spend more to get them changed.
Just thought the timing was so ironic and appreciate your message that jogged my memory in time.
The work is done now and I am supposed to get the new aquarium this weekend, I can't wait. Again, I am so sorry to hear you had the losses but it sounds like you may have been able to salvage more than you originally thought so that is good.
I guess if there is a bright side to this maybe you will be able to make changes you wanted to make or re-arrange things a little. I know that isn't much consolation but try to make something good come from it.
Daisy
