    Smoke/Water damage after a fire: Wow!

    I used to work in adjusting on the building side, but once attended a seminar and factory visit by a leading fire damage restoration company - I forget their name, national outfit though. They showed us a bath that they used to clean smoke damaged computer/ electrical equipment and the ovens...

    Hi Iain, someone else on their travels. Love the shells, you must have some patience to sort them in size then set them out, well worth it though. Good luck with yet another year of 52ing Neil
