Put please back to your scheduled programming.
Well, jt1, I do have a clue when it comes to this kind of thing, and I can tell you that no fire put those bricks all over the damned place like that. People rebuild houses after fires all the time--especially since their insurance company covers the loss. There's really no excuse for this kind of neglect.

Huggybear mentioned that preservation and restoration can't subsist on will alone, but they certainly can't subsist without it.
