Before and after the fire.

It took us 9 months to repair and rebuild after the devastating Kelmscott fire that razed 74 homes on the 6th of February last year. We had so much help from generous family and friends when we held 2 busy bees over two whole weekends. Stephanie, Jeff, Andrew Brooks, Cath's dad Brent and Linda, Scott, Daniel and Kevin, Phil, Andrew, Clare and the boys, Errol and Leonie, Andrew Buchanan all worked so hard to help us repair everything. Cath's mum Judith and Josie helped immensely by looking after Amelia and Laura while we joined the fun!
This was the results!
