the damn front porch is an absolute mess.
We went close to losing the place.
A power cable burst into flames and fell down on to a couple of pool noodles and a stack of new stubbie holders. This in turn ignited the cardboard of some cartons of coca cola. This then set the furniture alight.
Luckily the exploding coke cans alerted one of the guests who was home early due to feeling ill.
By this stage the electricity had tripped out and the flames were just touching the underside of the thatched roofing.
Neil Down came to the rescue with another sprint (his second this week following the earth tremor scare) and got the hoses into action.
The heat popped the tiles on the porch and they in turn shattered. Right now the crew are busily attempting to rectify the whole mess.
