I saw a pack of cigarette in her purse, so i asked her if anyone smoked, She said her by only smoked outside. and she promised.   

., I seriously doubt they are going to get my written approval to modify the residence or honor my pet or smoking policy.

Smoke and Mirrors, lie and deceipt, hidden agenda's, etc...So if you are going to post "everything he said was golden", then I have the right to say everything he said was leaden.

The residue is alot like MJ smoke and always worse over the stove.

If so, what did you smoke this weekend?

They may also check your smoke detectors to make sure they work as well.

Not finding much savable as what the fire didn't get, the water and smoke/soot damage took.

Some additional food for thought: rather than looking for the almost perfect condition home there, and since u are all cash, find a home in the neighborhood of choice that is a short sale or reo that is thrashed, get a smoking deal on it, fix it up and then rent.

I can drive up to a point and look at the flames and see black puffs of smoke - thats a house going up.

This took off all the old grime and smoke tar stains...
