Hold on restoring my B

There's going to be a hold on restoring the B, My shop burned down yesterday. I was welding a patch on a grill section and then left for a short time. there must have been a stray spark that started it. my wife found it because the power went out and she came out to see why and found the shop a blaze.
I'll have to start all over again
 
Sorry for your loss.

Think about how lucky many of us have been doing the same thing and that little spark fizzed out. I know I always feared this every time I drag the welder out. Weather permitting I do try and do a lot of it outside.
 
So sorry for your loss. Fire is a fear we all have or should have. Hope you can find the resources to get going again.
 
That is a very tough break. No one was hurt so that is the bright side. Everything else can be replaced. Very sorry for your troubles but keep your head up and charge forward. Bob
 
Thanks Yawl
I normally would have kept on working and make sure there wasn't a spark but my neighbor call and I went to see him. Not paying attention.
Have started the cleaning up process.

I could have the first all black John Deere. and paint some flames on it. What do you think.
 
Probably don't need to worry about
degreasing it.

All joking aside, hope there is some
stuff you can salvage.
 
I feel for you , fire ruins lots.hope you get back up and at it soon.I want to see the B done very soon
 
I had all of the misc. parts primed and ready for paint. I just started working on the sheet metal and the main body of the tractor I had ready to sand blast. I may need to get new grill sections because they were in the main part of the fire and are warped. everything else is a redo. I hoped to have it done by the winter, now its hard to say.

I'll be putting steel around the walls in the welding area of my new shop before pouring the floor. Not taking my chances with this kind of heartache.
