Cleanup began the very next day after the fire, but not before we opened our Christmas presents in the front yard! It was, after all, Christmas Day now.
Once our makeshift celebration was complete, it was time to get down to the nitty gritty.
In the following days we began work to sort through the rubble of our belongings ... salvaging what we could, discarding whatever was ruined by fire or water.
We also began tearing out the water soaked Sheetrock and insulation from various rooms. We quickly filled up the largest dumpster that we could rent, and we will likely need to rent another one at some point, as our trash piles grow ever larger. While the debris removal takes places, it becomes increasingly obvious just how much work will remain ahead of us for a very long time. It is daunting, certainly, but we are not ready to give up on our home.

I cannot find the location of this fire. I'm with Bin There Dump That, a North American dumpster rental franchise. If we have a franchise in your location, we'd love to offer a dumpster for clean up. Email me luke@bintheredumpthat.com or visit, www.bintheredumpthatusa.com to see if there is a location near you. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind offer, however, according to your website, you don't have a franchise near us.
