Crash Test Annie!!!!

Glad to hear everyone's ok, Eddie. I wouldn't have thought a car could do so much damage to a brick building. Speaking of which, how is the vehicle in question?

[gung-hoeddie]

well the bongo friendee is a right off, basically at a weight of approximately 2.5 tonnes and the speed at which it hit the wall, rough estimates at around thirty to forty miles an hour gave the wall a whack and a half. the problem if you like is that there is no cavity in the wall it's just two layers of brick, the tow-hook on the bongo had gone right through the wall cacking it in a v shape up the side of the house, had there been a cavity the space would of absorbed the impact. it was with real sadness today that i took down the toy room. i feel terrible. but the cracks are all over the place.

the action force room





it was difficult to remove everything, will it return? i don't know at this early stage i can't answer that, it took almost 6hrs to take all the toys down and pack them away and then to find somewhere to put them.

the empty shelves


i really am gutted. having the house damaged is bad enough but to have to take down the toy room it has broken my heart.

[Red Laser]

Eddie I hope you can get it all sorted out

[Double-Tap]

keep yer chin up mate.

the toys can go up as quick as they took to take down.

i'm sure when the insurance pays out ther'll be loads more goodies to squeeze in

[Thundershot]

Take heart mate, it'll take a while but you'll get every thing straight & back together eventually ..both of you are safe & well which is the really important thing.

Wow thats harsh ... Hopefully everything will be back in order soon tho !

...... just think of how great its gonna feel to get all those figures back out of storage

[gung-hoeddie]

I have a feeling it'll take longer to put back up than it did to take down, I didn't quite understand just how much stuff there was untill I started to remove the accessories and stands and put them into bags I didn't think it would end.

[The Baron]

Aw, don't let it get to you, Eddie. Putting it back up again will be lots of fun.

[Shaunyboy]

Knackers.

[ODB]

Don't get too down, it'll be back. It also gives you an excuse to improve it too.

Any news from the structural engineer.
