~ Fire ~
The front side of the house with the "fire line" tape.
What a mess!
The back side of the house. The boarded window was my room. You can see smoke on the chimeny and along the vents under the roof.
This was how it looked on the other side of the boarded up garage door. The ceiling in the garage fell through, because the attic was above the garage.
My room was the darkest room upstairs because of the boarded up window, so it was awful cleaning it out! You can see where everything was on the wall and on the floor. Near the window is a black box (black because of the smoke), which was a fish tank. Both fish lived through the fire. However, one died about a month after. The other is still alive and is relocated to another tank.
This was how it looked when you walked up the stairs. The hole in the wall that mom is looking in shows the attic.
This is pretty much the same view but without mom. This view also shows a little more what the ceiling looked like.
This shows my dad's office. The worst hit room in the house (excluding the attic). The window in his room also blew out. My room was the second worse bedroom in the house.
This is in my dad's office looking through the wall into the attic.
This was the closet in my dad's office. To get into the attic you'd have to walk through the closet. Inside the closet is a little door that leads to the attic.This closet held crafty things like shirt paint, wooden pieces, plastic canvas, Easter eggs, styrofoam, etc. It also held important papers for taxes, the House Title, etc.
This is a closer view of the closet in my dad's office.
This is how the house looked when it was tarped, so that it would cover the holes in the roof from the fire.
