First question ,why park a car that's worth more than the house

in front of it,when that's the way it's falling, second question,why

go between the house and car while trying to level the house,I

suppose they were using jacks,to lift the house,and it came off

the jack.

Why bother trying to repair the house

Sell the timber for firewood and start again

A different first question might be " I wonder how the rest of the family are coping?".
