The home was heavily damaged by a fire that started on a lower level, causing damage to about 70% of the residence.

Building Consultant hired to write all Government Buildings damaged by a tornado

Building Consultant hired to write structure fire to the campus library and coordinate the filing, cleaning, and return of 86,000 books that were currently in the archives of the school. (many were first edition books from the 1700 and 1800s) books were decimally filed as they were removed, trucked to the cleaning station in Dallas, Texas, cleaned and restored, housed in a climate-controlled building during construction, and then returned and filed back to original configuration as pre-loss.

The building was heavily damaged by an explosion in the warehouse we were hired to write and rebuild the structure as well as inventory all contents, price, and replace once the structure was complete.
