charlie and wife, I am soo sorry for your great loss. The pics are devastating. I'm not sure how you are holding it all together. I imagine there will time in the future to fall apart a little..that would be only NORMAL. I have always been terrified of electrical/caused fires. When I was 5 I noticed our neighbors house on fire and reported it to my mom, who called it in. It left a huge mark on me for years and finding out it was electrical, for years I would unplug anything that wasn't in need of electricity at the moment. I have never left any applicances running, like washer/dryer, crock pot, fans running when we leave. Just something that has stuck with me.
I'm hoping the recovery from this will now flow to your benefit. Have you decided yet on how/what/where to rebuid. I'm sure those thoughts have been with you now that the clean up is moving along.
Cathleen
