This is aweful. A contractor in Port Elliot was there doing home renovations on a beautiful beachfront, two-story home for a doctor when a balze broke out and totaled the house.
The contractor was actually trying to dry the wood deck. The wood overheated and a full blown blaze broke out. It threatened nearby properties because the wind was so strong.
The damage done to the house is estimated at $600,000!
The house is completely gutted.
I wonder what he was using to dry the wood!
