We all dream, and I think we all generally forget what we dreamed even before we wake up or else a few seconds later. Well this was a dream gone bad last night, and it didn't just fade away.
I woke up and made my cup of coffee. I stepped out the door onto the back deck, took a sip of coffee and then was about to head down to the shop. But...I'm looking out the back and the shop is not there. I see in the distance a very large puddle, like there was a flood. I look where the shop is and there is no water. There is no evidence that a building ever even was there, as it was just a flat chunk of ground with grass on it. There's no way the barn could be washed away in a flood, the poles are 5 foot deep and the concrete wouldn't go with it. I see way off in the woods is a barn surrounded by water. But that is not my shop. I hear bulldozers next door. I look off to the right and I see 3 store condo's nearing the end of construction...but you can't build condo's there and that's my neighbor's house, or was.
Now I'm sitting at the table trying to inventory all that is lost. And I am concerned about a project I am contracted to do but is now gone and I have no wood or tools to build another. I'm concerned about how much will the insurance cover and how do I inventory the massive amount of things I own. I don't own as much big ticket items as I do small items and we all know that the small items add up to the largest sum. And finally...I'm trying to explain to the insurance people about the loss of my $20,000 CNC verticle boring metal lathe which I never owned in the first place, but figured I should! Then I woke up and went to work. :redface:
