How awful for you! I hope your insurance will include some 'fun' money to get new stuff but if you're like me I have a fabric 'museum' and many 'treasures' can't be replaced.
Thank the good Lord you were home and OK. I do have a regular extension cord behind a book case that I plug a fan in to from time to time so I will definitely take your advice.
Hang in there and keep us up to date on what's happening.
Blessings,
Peggy
PS - A few years back I learned there was a 'dollar limit' per item for things like computers, sewing machines, etc. on my insurance policy. Check your policies everyone ... I had to get a rider on my policy to get replacement value for all my sewing equipment.
