    I opened up the wall, I found, that when Barbara had patched the stucco, she had packed the wall with packing foam and pieces of plastic baseboard molding. I don't think that she will be using kindling to fill the walls in the future. There was no burnt wiring. Philip

    You buy me a plane ticket and the materials and I'll come help you rewire! I was a residential electrician for several years and sometimes I miss it...

    Thanks, for the offer, it won't necessary. Everything is back to were it was before the fire. I just need to wire two outlets that are in the garage behind the panel.

    I have had a few ask, so here is the latest. Everything is fixed, no wiring damage beyond what I was planning to replace. Now I have a 20 amp 240 volt, 30 amp 240 volt and a duplex with a 20 amp 120 volt and a 15 amp GFCI 120 volt, all on the garage wall behind and below the electrical panel. On to the next project. One more time, if you don't own a fire extinguisher, buy one now, if you have a two story house buy two. The life you save could be your own.
