OUCH! I think we can all here feel your pain. Been there, done that, didn't get the T-Shirt. My LRDG never did recover, even though my wife replaced the kit since she smashed it. Here's hoping you'll do better with what looked like a great piece of work.

OMG Steve... it's just too much...
I'm sure you'll manage to bring it back to life!
Don't forget to show us what you achieved.

Man, what a MESS!
Lucky it wasn't anything of interest or value.
Go on mate, lets see how the repairs go! If anyone can do it you can.

Hi Steve Jnr,
Got kicked off the list at 20:35 on the 26th of December this time. 32 minutes faster than last year.
I haven't really managed to do anything to improve my re-addition to the list since.
Still, got a few months to go. As long as he doesn't leave me out of his will regarding his Stash I can live without Chrismas cards... Besides, I need the coal! :-) :-) :-)

Ouch i feel for you Steve!
I can almost feel your heart drop from here when you first walked through that door and saw the destruction infront of you.
Im sure you will do a great job in the rebuilding efforts though.
