I just talked with Norm on the phone (4:15PM). The house is Ok. The studio burned to the ground Marty losing all her artwork. The cars in the garage are OK as they were pushed outside by the fire crews significant damage to the north end of the RR room and a big hole above that in the ceiling. Rain would be a problem. They cannot come home yet as there is no electricity, no internet, etc. Norm and Marty are lucky.

I spoke with Norm this afternoon. He's working towards a complete restoration. He still can't go home but that's not stopping him from lining up all the required folks. Lots of volunteers too.

Re: Norm from Protocraft
The first two photos are not layout. Those photos are storage unit on the other end of the property.
The layout itself suffered water and roof collapsing damage. Sure, it's bad but he'll have it as good as new before we know it, Right now the fire is still going on around their property. Once it's safe the utilities will begin restoring power, telephone, etc.
Norm was involved in construction and remodeling for years. He knows how to get'er done.
