Since our home was uninsured at the time, we had to buy all new clothes that we couldn’t wash the stink out.
The ceilings were black. Out on the sun porch we scrubbed the pine roof clean, and the rest of the house needed scrubbing and two coats of paint.
We replaced the entire carpet as Mama’s school check allowed.
It’s still there.

Yep, I said.
