Update on the house fire

[gategrrl]

I spoke briefly with one of the owners of the house that caught fire yesterday. I had the impression that the fire had avoided most of the house (except the roof) but apparently their insurance companies are telling them the place is a loss. They're getting some,but not all, of the money they need to rebuild. The fire swooshed down their chimney and scorched the *inside* their house wrecking it completely. I hadn't realized it was that bad. Should have figured it out. The roof has holes galore in it, smoke billowed out of the ac unit (you can see that in this picture).

I'm glad the insurance companies aren't giving them a hard time. It totally was NOT their fault at all.

That's so mind boggling. Just the logistics of starting over with everything.

My only silver lining to that situation would be I didn't pick the house we live in and now I would be able to get what I wanted. I'd have to lose myself in floor plans and fixtures as not to get hysterical at what happened.

But still, those poor people. Here's good vibes that the rebuild goes smoothly.
