What the view from the back of the house use to look like.
Rear of house.
Thanks everyone for the kind words and prayers. It will get better for them and there are worse things in life than this, could have been worse.
Wow that is horrible, I would be beside myself. Most importantly nobody was hurt.
Wow, so terribly sad… just crazy how something like this could happen. I agree, the coincidence of the power washing leaves a suspicion that it could be related. Anyway, thankfully nobody was hurt.
My God that is horrific! My best wishes for rebuilding and smooth going after this tragic incident. I cannot even begin to imagine what your families are going through.
Oh dear, that is shocking. Best wishes for your sister’s family to get their life back together.
Very sorry to hear of your loss, looks like a beautiful place and I’m sure it will be again some day
Dude, very sorry to hear this news. Best wishes to your sister and family on rebuilding and starting over.
southland, That is such a sad story. I had to chime in and say, sorry to hear.
Folks:
A bit on/off topic, however, remember, a GFI may not protect the circuit behind the GFI outlet. This depends on how it is wired. Meaning a “tripped” GFI is likely still hot behind it. Just some safety precautions for members reading this who may not do much electrical work around the house. Turn the circuit off at the fuse panel & test it prior to working on it. This leads me to say, water intrusion with a GFI can still lead to a hazardous situation.
I also switch my deck outlets off prior to the annual pressure washing. I lightly wash the walls too. Just last year I installed some Water Resistant outlet covers and fresh 20 Amp GFIs.
Also, the exhaust on a pressure washer can be extremely hot. This mixed with pressure washer hose can ignite.
Have you thought about setting up a GoFund me page? That could be beneficial.
I am wishing them the best.
Sorry to hear about the disaster. Very good to hear no one was injured. Best of luck with the rebuild and starting over.
Shocking and sad to hear of the house loss . I`m just relieved nobody was hurt . Houses can be rebuilt and even photos are, basically , memory joggers , so hopefully you all can find other photos , or pieces of music , or even the stories that were behind the photos , to keep the memories alive.
My best wishes to your sister and here family , you all sound pretty close.
