Gee, Brett, I can relate to this one, too. Sorry to hear about the break-in, smoke & fire damage, etc. When my house was broken into, it was winter. The bad guys slipped on the snow & broke a window on the way out. The draft blew out the pilot on the oil furnace & we came home to standing water & ice on the whole ground level of our house. I happened to have laryngitis at the time which was pretty amusing as I gave the report to the insurance adjuster. We had a plumber showing his butt crack who knocked holes in the walls to find the broken pipes. Then, we had to replace all the hardwood floors & wall-to-wall carpeting. Did I mention the several hundred dollar water bill? Thankfully, we didn't have to pay that!!! Anyway, it took about a year to get the house back in shape. The good news was that we never felt the sense of violation that many folks do when they are robbed. Who had time? Thinking of you with sympathy. Best to you & Wakana. This, too, shall pass.

love,

barbara
