  • how did it start? There were 2 fires across the street from me within the past 2 months. an electrical fire in a house, and arson in the vacant apartment building which is right nextdoor to that house that had the electrical fire 2 months prior to that. The house is pretty much fixed up since the fire wasnt really big with no exterior damage, but the guy who owned the apartment building is bankrupt & it's just sitting there waiting to be tore down.

  • @TheWaynelds Neighbor was welding. It was an old house, and went up in flames in just minutes.

  • @TheWaynelds Update to my previous comment. The house that they just fixed up from the fire in august was torched last night. And it looks pretty bad. somehow i slept riight through it too. So now they have to tear down that house along with the burned apartment right next to it. My nextdoor neighbor died in an accidnt last week, so were closely watching his house to make sure no one messes with it. in 2011 the fire dept was called to our street 5 times for 3 structure fires and 2 car fires.

  • good luck chef :/

  • Sorry bout ur house..but the way u were "crying" my me crack up so much I woke up the baby! Lol oops

  • @ghettocountry08 Haha!

  • You have a really positive attitude after this tragedy. Glad everyone is ok including that doggy :).

    Like you said "..Something good comes out of it"

    At least you'll get a better kitchen in terms of the remodeling =)

    Good luck and look forward to more vids from ya.

  • @lobsta7 Thanks! We will begin shooting very soon. We are back home and putting together a list of recipes to film.

  • Really sorry for your house...I miss your cooking tips videos :)

  • Damn... Was that old car ok?

  • @bigred2580s

    He had two old cars that you can see in the video. The Comet survived. His old Ford Bronco did not.

  • dude, I am so sorry, what a drag. glad you are so safe. stay strong.

  • @cookingfordads Thank you so much. It's been rough on the whole family. We are looking forward to getting back home.

  • @ChefTips our prayers are with you all.

    cook well,

  • @cookingfordads Thank you. We appreciate that!

  • People like you are very successful (:

  • @KiweeeX3 Thanks. You are kind. :)

  • Hi Jason. great attitude! I'd forgotten all about your vids, you are the one who got me into watching cooking vids and learning heaps. made sure I faved this time.

  • @al04169 Thanks! :)

  • Ah man, so sorry for what happened to you. Love your attitude though, with that kind of attitude something good will definitely come out of it :).

  • Your wife is Californiatraveltips -- haha, didn't know that. She takes more time to respond to her viewers unlike you, Jason! ;)

    sorry about your bad fortunes but any reason to remodel can't be all bad.

  • @supercooled Thanks! We were trying to figure out if Veronica takes too long to respond, or I take too long to respond. The way you worded it could go either way. :)

  • Oh my god... I missed this video before. So sorry this happened to you. Your positive attitude is inspiring, and at least everybody's okay!

    Hope the remodeling is going well!

  • thumbs up for your positive attitude!

  • @SueJungle Thanks. :)

  • Holy sh*t,

    respect for your optimism, you never give up. I hope you are all fine ;) You're awesom man, I wish I would be that mentally strong .... I would probably perish after that

  • Jason,

    I am just so sorry for all of the trouble and misery that you and the family are having at this time. I will be keeping you all in my thoughts and send the best to all of you during this time.

    Let's hope things get started and you just keep looking forward.

    Cathy

  • @wwmtngal Thanks so much Cathy. It's been very difficult. Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts. We hope that we can at least be home by Christmas.

  • Why were you wearing a pink hat?

  • @cod5fan12

    It's a faded red USC Trojans hat! Lol!

  • See the man smoking at 0:03? notice he is smoking

    smoking = fire

    A man walks by with a smoke in his mouth

    Blame him!!!!!!

  • oh dear!!!!!! so glad you are all ok!

  • @sqwishdabug

    Thanks! =]

  • Jason,

    I was just thinking of you guys as we are in Idyllwild.

    I hope that things are starting to at least move with the house and they

    are working to get the house back up and going!

    Cathy

  • @wwmtngal Thanks Cathy. :) Our contractor finally started on Tuesday, but we still have no money from Citimortgage (hint-hint to those of you shopping for home loans right now). We sent them the structure check from Allstate a month ago, and they've been sitting on it this long. Everyone we talk to tells us it's coming, but never does. We're using credit cards til the first check arrives. It's a nightmare.

  • Have fire damage insurance? Why cant you put up a donation box so we can help you out

  • @cod5fan12 You are so kind. :) If Citimortgage would just send us our money, we'd be OK. But they've been dragging their feet so long, we've had to take out loans on our credit cards to pay our contractor.

  • well jason , i wanted to ask to flambe, bu i see someone did it with that house

  • @lploverx Yep, that would be our neighbor.

  • holy crap! I havent watched your videos for so long and I thought wow he isnt making any vids anymore I guess cause I couldnt see your videos in my subscriptions box and I see this I hope your all okay ;p

  • @nictherocker

    Yes, we're doing okay. Thanks! =]

  • I'm glad that you guys are ok. Don't forget to show us your new kitchen.

  • @ji94552 Thanks to everyone who has shared their kind words and thoughts during this horrible ordeal. We are having a custom kitchen made and just picked out our cabinets. But sadly it will probably be a few more months before anything happens.

  • @ChefTips I understand the feeling. It took us about 3 months to get just the counter top and the back splash. So what are you getting for your appliances?

  • I am really sorry to hear this.....so happy you were not hurt.

  • OMG!!! I'm so sorry your house burned down..more than things..its the memories lost that are most missed... but hey you're re-modelling so yay! Best of luck! =)
