The house had no structural damage, but there was massive smoke damage, and we can still smell it coming off of the ground outside the house even though all of the burned material has been taken away. House fires are nasty, and the smoke that comes from them is not even remotely related to the smoke that comes from any other fire. I tried a service from a company that does the job on cleaning and restoring damage property from fire and they did their job very well.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.puroclean.com/office/751/page/puroclean-fire-and-smoke-damage-beverly-peabody-salem-ma" rel="nofollow">Fire Damage Beverly MA</a>Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06552514258902897211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-30147397975485464392012-01-13T11:40:41.827-08:002012-01-13T11:40:41.827-08:00Glad to hear your family and you are all ok and th...Glad to hear your family and you are all ok and that you still have a sense of humor about the experience.

That is going to save me days of work.

It takes a long time to recover and it's stressful to be out of your house. On the upside, everyone was OK and we have a *really* nice kitchen now. So in the end it will work out for you.

But most everything else downstairs is OK, though the water damage from the firehoses gave my house a firm thrashing (and now I'm finally going to get to replace all the crappy floors downstairs).<br /><br />I'm a fan of black humor. I have always admired people who could crack wise in the face of disaster. Plus it's really not as bad as it seems. The insurance will cut me one hell of a check to replace all the destroyed belongings, and I was considering getting rid of a bunch of those games, anyway. I doubt they'll offer me full retail, since that would just be crazy, but I should be able to get the stuff I really want off eBay, and just kind of go, 'meh, I hardly played that anyway' for the rest.Matt Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293720777403743376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-13097378076083967162011-12-19T20:56:51.326-08:002011-12-19T20:56:51.326-08:00I played that game a couple of years ago.
