Sorry to hear this news AofS, hope insurance will cover replacements and they will be available. Water damaged books are a tough salvage, I know.

Bugger Rob, I hope you can locate replacements

Hope the weather improves soon Techno, sunny and 19 here, hopefully I'll get the Germans varnished once the basing touch ups dry

Actually I'm hoping the trenches will arrive today and they will get top priority, tomorrow or Thursday is more realistic

Sorry to hear that rob 

Struggling a tad with the weather here. Cellar under 3 inches of water. Bailed out over 1000 litres yesterday. Looks like I ll have to do it agin at the weekend  . Please stop raining

Happy new year everyone

Take care

Andy

Happy New Year  to al who are a part of the asylum that its the Pendraken Forum


Hope you get things sorted Ace.

Phill - careful on that Cherry picker - We know what your like.  we would hate to loose you , unless Mrs T or the MIL can sculpt of course - then we would get over it  . 
Seriously its a long way down from the roof.  One of stepdaughters freinds lost her Dad when he fell off a ladder.

My Predictions for 2016

I will try not to buy more figures until my painting pile is reduced to the size of Ben Nevis - and will fail miserably
Last Hussar's attendance at club nights will reach double figures
FSN will be arrested and make the National News for "committing an unnatural act of a sexual nature" with a Centurion tank at Bovingdon.
BKC rules will be released and on the inside cover will be a picture of Leon playing on the Xbox!
THe Pendraken painting competition will again contain pictures of 28mm figures that have been shrunk to 10mm ( thats the only way they can painnt to that detail) and yes I am amazed/jealous

Spades, I sincerely appreciate what a colossal pain in fundament that would be.

I have some books that have been with me for over 40 years. If they got destroyed I would be devastated.

My ex-wife once casually suggested that I loved my books more than I loved her. Well, strewth, it took me years to get those books!

Wonder if that's another reason she's my ex?  

Yes I have books like that too!

Yes I probably did love my books more than my Ex. Definitely more exciting .

That is a bummer. Hope you are able to recue some of your books.

Ace of Spades: Sorry to hear that. It sounds terrible 
All those precious books 

Techno: Yep, I've water dripping from my bedroom ceiling as well. Water always finds a way in! (though having a missing tile on your roof won't help, I'll admit).

Matt of Munslow: Think on it this way. Some people pay a fortune on gym membership to do that level of cardio exercise. Could you be missing out on a opportunity here? Is there anybody local to you who you could charge a couple of quid to do the work? - tell them it is cheaper than gym membership after all!
Seriously though, I hope thinks get back to normal for you asap.

No worry about me going up in the cherry picker, Mark...(I'll leave that to the experts)...And there's NO way I'd go onto the roof.....WAY too steep.
That side of Techno Towers is a long drop down to the drive.
(The other side's not so bad.....An 8 foot drop to a flat roof.)

Cheers - Phil

I once read here he was playing nude ! 


I'm sorry for you Ace of Spades.. Good luck.

Thank you all for your warm thoughts and support, it's much appreciated!
My insurance agent told me to make a list and take some pictures and then we take it from there. Looks like most softbacks (Ospreys, Squadron Signals etc.) suffered the worst although I have seen some other great books are definitely lost too. Guess I'll spend about a week listing all and looking for links on prices and availability.
The good thing is there's no personal harm involved (untill I find out who did the plumbing on the kitchen sink before I moved in!)

Cheers,
Rob

Sorry to hear about the damage, AoS. Hope all turns out well.

Now I know why it was "pre-greased".....

I believe that is the only way he plays on the Xbox.

Hopefully M'lady will ensure he is holding the controller in a strategic place!
