Did she burn down in the driveway?? Its sad when anyone's hard work gets ruined by fire.. I've almost been there 3-4 times, from various circuits not blowing a fuse when shorted..

Whoa, I have an old school 50/60's charger that has an overload/short protection.. what kinda charger were you using?

Either way, that completely sucks.. what are your plans?
