M35a2 V.S. my house

[Strykerboy]

Well im on leave right now in CA. i let my buddy barrow my truck to move some stuff over to the house while im gone.... i didn't see a problem with letting him do so because he has driven 5 tons and such before.
well i got a call last night from him he was all freaked out about hiting the house with the truck when he was backing it up the driveway...
i told him not to worry about it and that we can just repair the house when i get back from my trip.. these are the pic that he took.... note: it only scratched the paint on the truck..

Dang, that's a little tweaked....No good deed goes unpunished.

Bummer...is he still your "Buddy"? Ask him where his "ground-guide was."

Ouch . . .

Call your insurance. Homeowners MAY cover it.....if not, you are looking at a MINIMUM $3,000-$4,000 repair.

Also....hire a brick mason to repair it!!!! You will need to use the same bricks, and even then, the mortar most likely will not match.

Does he have a job?

 

[wsucougarx]

I'll huff and I'll puff and I will deuce your house down. So much for the piggy with the brick house

Deuce pointed backward = bulldozer?

Looks like Ferroequinologist may have some competition in the demolition business!

They don't build them like they used to. That goes for trucks and houses.

Where was "soldier B" ?

Holy cow...

You might be able to put some eye bolts in the wall and pull it back in place with the deuce.

holy cow ..... that truck sure did a number.... gos to show ... even 14,000 pounds going 3 mph will crush something bad ... my buddy has a flat tool box that someone ran over with a m35a2....he had a heck of time getting his tools out of his new metal taco

I never imagined that was possible moving that slow, but I guess this proves that all wrong. Sucks for your house, and no disrespect intended, but that's a pretty sweet story to tell.

. . . But it DID look as BIG as a H O U S E

By chance, have you ever accused your "buddy" of being a "home wrecker"

 

[glcaines]

Man, really sorry to hear about your house! I hope you don't have problems with your homeowners insurance. Or perhaps it would be covered by your liability policy on the Deuce. You should probably try to put in a claim against your Buddy's insurance first. That will be an expensive repair.
