Thankfully your house is still your home and you're okay. Not to belabor the issue, but what's the take-away from this? Would you care to share any lessons learned so results like this can be minimized for any other one of us in the future? Granted, s#it happens, but is there anything with set-up, tooling or procedures to make note-of or do differently?

Really sorry man - wish I could say something meaningful to make you feel better. I lost my first jeep when a delivery truck reversed over it.. sure the insurance covers the actually nuts and bolts of it, but that doesnt make it any easier, so I know how you feel. When I lost my jeep, I felt the same way I did when I lost my faithful old German shepard after 17 years. But like the other guys have said, at least you didnt get trapped under there when she went up.
