Re: [VAL] Cleaner?

Thanks Daisy,

Yes, all the inside skin must come off, all wiring is burned bare, for some 
reason the aluminum either burned away or is intact, not discolored even at 
the burned away areas but soiled with a oak, rubber and plastic residue that 
wants to chip but not wash, just like a dirty oven heavy build up on the 
glass door etc. All the inner skin is heavily buckled, but the exterior 
hasn't a blemish, even where the ceiling inner skin burned away. Seems the 
insulation is some sort of spun rock wool, did not burn and did not discolor 
as it contained all the fire to the inside. Of course all will have to be 
disassembled, spotlessly cleaned for smell, rewired, reinsulated, 
straightened where some ribs buckled, and reskinned before the oak liner 
panelling can be totally redone. Maybe Tom is right and it is just a lost 
cause.

It's all there, all the cabinets made of aluminum, even the central vac 
still works, but all the oak doors, the wardrobe fronts, the kitchen, 
bathroom, are all just charred frames hanging from rusting vintage hinges 
with melted squeeze latches all destroyed. I am amazed at what the aluminum 
could handle, and the incredibly effective insulation material. Not one 
running light is melted from the inside heat.
