    Insurance is legalized racketeering! I had a commercial insurance policy for years no accidents or claims then a storm did tons of damage and it took 8 months to collect and 2 weeks after getting paid half of what it should of been they cancelled the policy

      Same with homeowners. My dad had a policy in the 90s and we had some stuff stolen, insurance eventually paid and cancelled the policy. Same story in 2013, we lost some shingles during a hurricane and they covered it and immediately cancelled.

    Best wishes to y'all. The fire is a tragedy I've worked in many truck shops. It could have been simple as mice chewing on wires or a piece of equipment over heated. I had incident once with a Refrigerated Trailer. And they are full of flammable foam, while trying to do some Aluminum welding the foam inside the rear door frame caught fire. But luckily everyone of us moved fast and drilled holes in the frame and got water in the door frame. The team work of all of us employees managed to put the foam out the shop was full of smoke but we did what we could to keep the shop from burning down. Y'all will make it just stay positive.

    Insurance is NOT a scam if you work with a reliable agent who only selects from known reliable commercial carriers. I work in commercial real estate and have submitted many large claims over the years when something unexpected happened (like a fire). When that happened,both our agent and our carrier were helpful in making the claim. So if you do things right on the front end, I am convinced that you will be protected on the back end.

    I saw the expedition fall off the forks in another video.
    I picked up some forks from
    Jenkins iron & steel Wisconsin
    I bought my forks for $2,000 and they are hydraulic.
    They squeeze down to about three 4 in
    And spread out to 6 ft wide
    No more teeter totter with long pipes ,Rams,
    Or automobiles
    You can order the forks anywhere from 36 to 72 in long 6 ft
    Myself I ordered a set of 5 ft forks and 6 ft wide
    The forks are actually made by Cascade
    And they have a 5,500 lb lift keepability
    I think 3,200 delivers it to your front door from Wisconsin
    Through that Jenkins iron and steel?
    I have a set from Brody that came off a forklift and those to replace our
    22,000
    I hope this is good information for you?
    I have some friends here in Elizabeth Colorado that are a c&c shop that also does milling
    And research and development
    They used to be r&d for Gates rubber company
    They need some trucking from time to time?
    You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours?
    They're always up for some horse trading
    His kid is pretty good at building drive splines and has a capabilities of doing that.
    If you're ever in Elizabeth Colorado next to Denver swing through there's plenty room for an 18-wheeler
    Richard would probably love to meet Braxton
    He's got some quarter midget race cars that he has the used to run with his kids but they're all grown up now.

    Seeing a clean slab is gonna make all this worth it. The most difficult thing to do after something like this is processing the situation and responding to it. Your gears immediately started turning on how you would overcome a major setback like this and then you came up with a plan and executed it. You're an extremely driven individual with an equally as driven team. I'm convinced there's nothing that can stop y'all.
    Can't wait to see what you guys do with this space and what's next for the company. Nothing but positivity.
    Also I'd look into renting a sweeper bucket for that skid steer. They get stuff pretty clean and you can dump right into that trailer and bring it to the landfill. It'll keep and the nails and little scraps from covering your parking lot like would happen if you just power washed it all.

    Glad to see you can finally start the clean-up and start the new workshop. just a thought if you haven't already thought of it, maybe install a fire sprinkler system in your new workshop. may not stop a fire starting but would certainly reduce the damage caused.

    As bad as it is, Gentry and Sons will come back better than ever! if this fire didn't happen I feel you would have done very well but wouldn't make very risky choices. Now the big reset has happened it will force Gentry & Sons to grow! Love your work guys keep it up!
