heard from the Insurance company
the house is a total loss
a hidden electrical box in the wall
caused the fire...it appears.
so it'll have to be torn down
and rebuilt maybe in a different spot (
50 feet back)
depending on the foundation and new building codes
i set up a construction office in the barn
we are presently living at a motel
....until they place a trailer beside our house
then i can hook up an internet connection
i finally got the water turned back on
aND I HAVE just ONE GFI OUTLET....
so at least i can hear some tunes
while i work in the green house.
the garden is growing good...
Star is almost back to normal
we shall survive this
