apparently the fire brigade have said this was accidental

the initial wall collapse was a series of unfortunate events starting with sand blasting that didnt go as well as planned to a builder completely hoofing it all up.

i saw the owner the other day and he is genuinely cut up as this is not just another insurance job - the whole repair job could take much more than 6 months - dont know many people who can wait 6 months and not have any income as well the risk of losing some good quality staff they had.
