Cindy, I'm so sorry that you had to go thru this experience, but I'm also glad that it wasn't any worse than it was. And that you all are OK!!!! THAT's the important part!
Walt has been a volunteer fireman for almost 40 years now. I've seen lots and lots of fire damage. I know it's awful, but really, I've seen LOTS worse

That's a good thing! God was good.
Also, thank you for giving so much credit to your local fire dept. So often, people forget to thank them. They're quick to find fault, but not as quick to show gratitude. You always have such a great attitude! I think that's why I like you so much, my cheery friend.
Praying for you tonight. Asking God to calm your nerves and give you a good night's rest and then to supply ALL of your needs as you get into this remodeling project. He has the riches to do it.
