The shed where I make my Vinny Pop and Vincent Strauss guitars caught on fire at 4am this morning. I sleep with cotton in my ear and knew nothing till Mrs Pop was woken she says by a bird or something dropping a stick on the roof, she got me up and I saw smoke and flames in MY SHED.
I ran out and slipped on a piece of carpet and have now damaged my arm.
I put the fire out with a bucket of water (EDITED --ForumAdmin)
And then mum got her leg stuck in the electric lifter chair and it ripped the skin and blood came out, so more work praying to avoid infection all this started on September 11 blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa and twaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa and I cant even log in to hear the Vinny Pop song or watch our buddy Trauma on his new TV show WHAT A DAY but Vinny Pop keeps smiling because you guys are fantasticcccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc

Aww thats not good- hope your mum is ok.... what caused it?

A candle Vinny? Please be careful. Do you not have electricity in your shed?

if not , i hope you invest in a decent lamp,or work light that you can run an extension cord for. i would hate for something bad to happen to you.

i clean my work area often, but i am never confident that i have all the saw dust. and if you store any of your paints, lacquers etc, the flame is scary.

couple years back, my neighbor at the time had some oily rags he didn't store properly, only a couple, but the resulting fire destroyed hi other neighbor's garage.

Hopefully your mum is Ok. you have my thoughts and prayers. i remember you saying you are 47 or so, so I guess your parents are of advanced age, so injuries like that can be scary. i wish you and your folks all the best.

I hope the damage in your work shed wasn't too extensive, and that your projects are safe. i am very glad no one got hurt. guitars are just wood and metal, but your loved ones are actually precious.

Take care, mate!

Definitely NOT a candle in the wind

That is horrible. It sounds like it was a nightmare. I'm glad you made it out alright. I could just see you in there, scalloping some poor guitar neck, while the shed burns around you!
I hope you are able to rebuild the shed in a timely fashion as to get back to making your famed custom guitars.

Going to miss Vin while he's not here to blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa and twaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa the daylights out of us...
