The reconstruction

What has to be done to the house, and the work that has already started.

The family is surveying the work with people from the town.

Before a wall can go up, the house has to be emptied. That is what is happening now.

The work so far


The first job was to get the rubble out

Before a wall can go up, the house has to be emptied. That is what is happening now, with people from the town and a borrowed machine.

A man with a shovel piles rubble into a mound of broken brick and ash. Behind him, the bucket of a yellow loader is already full of burned remains.
The rubble is cleared by hand and loaded by machine.
Burned engine parts laid on the floor and on a table, sorted by type: pipes, exhaust manifolds, a blue crate of tools. The legs of several people working around them are visible.
What can be salvaged from the workshop is sorted piece by piece.
