The cleanup process continues daily. We've dragged the burned logs out and tossed them over the hill for a bonfire this coming winter and scooped all the trash out of the basement hole. We even calculated where Kates jewelry should have fallen down from the top floor and raked through 3' of ashes and found a bunch of it, mostly destroyed but some intact, including a diamond and gold pin and a few other surviving gemstones. Most of the gold settings were just gold beads and at least 20gold coins went into an industrial dumpster today in the skid steer bucket. Kept looking but just couldn't find all the jewelry. Here's a S&W from one of the non fire safes in the basement. The rifles and shotguns in there were just rusted bbls sitting in charcoaled wood. Unbelievable.
