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?

Wow, sorry to see that happen. Important thing is that you're okay and your home is too. Either home or auto should cover the Jeep.

My dad works at an oil refinery and when they have to fix things that potentially flammable they use BRONZE tools, so there's no spark, but none the less good to see your fine, but do you have both your eyebrows?

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.
