Photos from the fire |
|
The fire crews came, but without
equipment |
Looking into the boys' bathroom |
This used to be a
lamp and stereo; the heat melted the stereo's exterior and
components |
|
Burnt bedroom walls & door |
The mess around Rex's bed |
Looking downstairs - damaged by
water |
|
This used to be a clothes closet |
Extensive damage on the wall next
to Rex's bed, near where the fire started |
Until now this was a nice wall clock |
|
Fire damage to the bedroom walls &
ceiling |
Another view of the same |
The ceiling burnt through to the
roofing in places |
|
This used to be Roger's bed |
Bedroom door shows the damage |
Lower part of the same door |
|
Plastic casing of the air conditioner
in the family room buckled from the heat |
View outside of the bedroom |
The family room is a mess from smoke
damage |
|
The boys'
bathroom |
The offending electrical outlet |
Sliding doors of the clothes closet
on the day after |
|
More burned doors outside on the day
after |
Windows were broken by the firemen to
provide some ventilation for the smoke |
Smoke damage in the family room |
|
Rex's bed, the day after |
Smoked walls and stripped ceiling
in the guest bedroom |
This is what the ceilings should look
like |
|
Our Balinese
procession painting suffered serious smoke damage |
Close up shows
the difference between the original painting & the smoke damage |
Our big Thai oil
painting seemed to be less affected |
|
Although the smoke got to it, too |
Our arts & crafts may never be the
same again |
Blackened area on the outside of
the bedroom |
|
The day after - Usa swings into
action; Roger & Rex are happy their Gameboys weren't damaged |
The next bedroom suffered smoke
damage |
Not Used |

What the room looked like when Neil
visited in end-July ... |
... with all of the stuff from
upstairs moved downstairs ... |
... it was really crowded & hard to
move around the house |
|
It wasn't until August that repairs started;
it's amazing what difference cleaning and some paint makes
... |
|
The bedroom that had the fire |
Same bedroom looking outside |
Looking from the hall into the
bedroom |
|
The family room looks much better -
well, not the air conditioner |
Ceilings starting to look like
themselves again |
Intentionally blank |
