cheers for the replies, colin will take about 5 months or maybe more, luckily insurance are paying for a shit hot old stable conversion for us to rent, still not sure how it started really, fire crew etc cant pin point what it was but think it was some kind of electrical anyway, started in the eaves by my bedroom within 10 mins upstairs had all burnt out tiles shatterin and flyin into the road etc, said its lucky the whole house didnt go it was so quick altho only upstairs only burnt the floors did too causing everything burnt and unburnt to fall through and ruin down
