Fire update:

My parents house is coming along, slowly. They have now been told that their move back-in date won't be until October or November. Here are two pictures of what is happening on the inside.

standing in the entry way, the formal living room is to the left-behind mom, looking into the kitchen/family room.

standing in the hallway at the back of the house, looking into the kitchen and family room.

As you can see, it's going to be a long process. They have taken thee entire upstairs down to it's studs. The garage is also down to it's studs. So far they don't believe the basement will need to be taken, other than the carpet and some new paint...we will see when they get to that point. What a mess smoke damage can do!!!
