Advanced Video Gets Dose Of Dean

As of Friday, the 17th, I was about 90% complete with the sale of the store, and its assets. Things were going smoothly enough. I was advertising on Craigslist everything under the sun, and stuff was flying out the door, admittedly at lower than desired prices. Below is a sample listing...

All Right, You Win - more free stuff

Apparently everyone in the whole freaking city is broke.
You'll just have to live with your conscience if you take the stuff
I have, for free....

Fully functioning JVC VHS VRS's.
Office Chair
Non-recording VHS fullsize camera, suitable for hooking up to a DVD or VHS recorder for auditions... Camera part works great...

2 Work Benches.
Quit a bit more... too much to mention..

I even took Sunday off, as I was exhausted... Monday, as I was going through my voice mail, I get a message from the LA Fire Dept. telling me there had been a flood, that they had to force entry into my store, and to please come take repossession of the store. The message was left a full 24 hours before.... I rushed in to what was left of my store...A million year old pipe burst about 12 inches below ground in the crawlspace between my store and the Medical Marijuana store next door. This was probably another section of the same pipe that burst 2 years before, flooding the then Asian Massage Parlor, next door... It didn't spare me this time. Everything in the store that was near the floor got soaked. The fire dept. took 70 minutes to arrive, according to a fellow store owner. My security alarm never went off, (and the ADT people said they didn't even have me on file.... odd, since they've been charging me for the last 48 months.)The f-ing slumlord of a landlord isn't even bothering to come out and see what happened.... This is a major setback in Project: New Life...
More to come.....
