Today I was working south of Guildford in the remains of a burnt-out cottage. It was a sobering experience. I don't know if any of you have ever wandered through a building that has been stripped out by fire. Bits of the floorboards missing, large portions of the roof gone. The fire had started upstairs and one bedroom and the hallway were totally stripped and there was severe damage in the other upper rooms. Downstairs was a little better but I believe that the term that estatemen use is "fixer-upper."
You'll be pleased to hear that the lady that had been home at the time did get out with her two grandchildren and dog.
