Wow, is everyone OK? What a terrible development. How did a blowout start a fire?

3/4" OSB to repair flooring in bathroom due to leaky toilet flange... ick!
Happier note another box of Lifeproof LVF from Home Depot. Only 3 more boxes to go.
Also ordered new china made, i know what isn't, compact washer with separate spinner tub - key feature is 30lb capacity washer tub and 17lb spinner side. surprisingly this style machine is very highly rated for getting clothes clean. Had big 450w washer motor and 240w spinner motor. Down side is if it arrives in one piece though they ate shipped from USA warehouse. Also wash side is pretty manual in that its got a 15min cycle and I'll have to set each cycle for wash/rinse. Meh... $199 shipped. i can turn a knob once it a while. Fingers crossed.
Also but a nice 3.5 cu. ft. front loading dryer with an anti-wrinkle cycle. $294....
im happy even if i did it on impulse.
so im eating beans & Ritz crackers until end if the month... oh, wait, that's ok. 😁

I have no clue or if there was already a fire for no known reason. But by the time I got to the door to go look at what I thought was a blowout, there was already a large sized orange glow on the ground.
2 precious cats and my boa died inside, two others ran out of which 1 was too hurt to be saved and the other is still missing.

Haven't taken possession of our new trailer yet, but we bought a Lippert slide topper and two 6v GC2 batteries from the dealer.

A 3" wide roll of gray Eternabond tape to replace the existing sealing tape that Keystone used on the 4 slides. It doesn't leak but is lifting and expect it will eventually

Lemmie see..............
Had the cracked windshields replaced. Bought new seals for the RV toilet and then replaced the same. Rehabbed the propane tank and bought some stuff to "encapsulate the metal prepped tank, and then repainted the tank. And the list goes on..............
