If you could never walk in your house again, how would you fare?

[zoomzoom]

For whatever reason (I'll use fire as an example), if you could never enter your house nor get anything out of it EVER again (and let's include any vehicles in either an attached garage or within 50' of the house), how would you do?

I'd lose a lot but would do OK. I have places I could move into immediately that are furnished and have provisions.
I have vehicles away from that proximity.
I keep off-site digital storage of any important paperwork.
I have a cache of "defensive" items.

It would be really hard to deal with, but we would be OK. My important papers are in a fire proof safe. We have a camper and extra vehiles that we would utilize if we had to. I always keep the camper stocked with clothes and the bed is always made and ready for use. I would lose some things that would be irreplaceable and would make me so sad......but life goes on.

Honestly, I would exist but mentally I'd be crushed. We would be starting over & I'm to old to even think about that. Our house is about a third of our worth, the contents are a bit more than a third & we worked hard & lean to get all of it free & clear. Sure our income & retirement accounts would still be there but we just wouldn't live long enough to amass even close to what we have. Wow, what a great question to get a person to thinking.

I was just thinking about nothing but the house. First off, it really suits us. We like everything about it, large & certainly not fancy. And we love our neighborhood. Heck, a lot where we live would probably cost us about 40% more than we paid for our lot & house. Man, that's a scary thought.

I'd go to my shop as well. I'd send the family elsewhere.
I have a decently supplied shop. I'd lose internet since the router is in the aforementioned destroyed house but otherwise, I have beer and a tractor. What else is needed?

I wouldn’t eat as well but I have food and ammo stashed. I also have plenty of books and a really good sleeping pad in my stash.

Curse and raise hell, as usual, dig up my stash, and go on.

the shop tigers would have a room mate, can I swap which truck is parked within' 50 feet No body would have known if you didn't ask the question fool.

Well, we only have one house, so I guess we'd end up in a barn

We'd live next door in the guest cabin and start over. We did it 20 years ago and could do it again.
