SAND SPRINGS, Oklahoma -
Its still a mystery what caused a fire that destroyed a Sand Springs Appliance repair shop, and customers are just finding out how devastating the fire was.
The building was still smoldering Wednesday and you could actually see flames in some spots. The fire chief said it's being monitored, but its too dangerous for crews to be inside the rubble.

Firefighters spent all night Tuesday trying to keep the flames away from the electrical substation next door.
Close to 3 a.m. crews left the Try It Again Appliances shop, but there is nothing left of the business, which leaves customers like Jerry Poulter in a bind.
"My wife calls me and said, you know that place you took the dryer to? It burned down. I was like, great, what a way to start a day," Poulter said.
The father of five said the Sand Springs staple made managing family chores a bit easier. He said the owner has always been honest, which is why he kept coming back.
When Poulter dropped of his dryer earlier in the day, he expected a quick repair.
Just a dryer belt off the tumbler, but he was only going to charge me $20 plus the part to put on it. I said shoot for $20 why not? Save me from having to do it. Last time I did it, it took a couple of hours," he said.

Investigation Into Sand Springs Appliance Store Fire Could Take Days
Two construction workers were injured when an elevator malfunctioned coming off its track and falling several feet at a West Village apartment building Wednesday morning, officials said.
The elevator became dislodged as the workers were transporting materials between the eighth and ninth floors of the building on West 11th Street around 11:25 a.m.
Officials said the cables snapped, causing the elevator car to fall before becoming to wedged sideways in the shaft, FDNY officials said.
Emergency workers secured the elevator car to prevent it from falling down the shaft and were in the process of removing the occupants, the FDNY said.
Some construction workers were using the elevators to transport materials, said FDNY battalion chief Dean Koester.
The elevator fell about five or six feet, wedged in the shaft, both workers were removed and brought to the hospital.
Building residents of the building said this wasnt the first problem since time people were have been trapped in the elevator since construction began.
We have been enduring the most appalling conditions, people have been getting stuck in the elevator, there are insane dust levels, noise and just general chaos, said Jane Stubbs. The building is a nightmare at the moment.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) About a dozen families remain homeless after a large crack in the facadeof a Brooklyn apartment building prompted an evacuation on Monday.
The massive crack can be seen in the back of the building at 3405 Kings Highway in the Flatlands section.
The entire building was evacuated Monday afternoon as the Department of Buildings and the FDNY checked the buildings stability.
Most of the residents have since been allowed to return, but those living in two rows of apartments closest to the damage were not allowed back in their apartments.
Im pretty stressed out, I didnt sleep all night, displaced resident Michael Kessler told CBS 2s Weijia Jiang.
That side can collapse, the buildings superintendent Kayhan Sengun told Jiang.
The Citys Department of Buildings posted a notice saying a construction site adjacent to the building caused the damage during the excavation process. The DOB ordered the company to stop work and make repairs. Kessler told Jiang residentsfelt shaking and vibrating at times as crews worked on the foundation of the building next door.
I felt all the rumbles, I felt every vibration when they were pounding, Kessler said.

Everyone attending Monday nights Upper Moreland Township public hearing on a proposed apartment building on Davisville Road agreed the new construction would be a positive step toward revitalizing the area.

Activity in Australia's construction sector is strengthening, driven by higher housing prices and improved confidence in the labour market.
The Australian Industry Group/Housing Industry Association Australian Performance of Construction Index (PCI) rose 0.8 points to 52.6 in July.
An index reading above 50 indicates activity in the sector is rising and the higher the reading, the greater the speed of the expansion.
Ai Group director of public policy Peter Burn said both residential and commercial construction were building a head of steam.

"The overall construction sector remained in positive territory despite the ongoing slowdown in engineering construction as investment in mining-related projects fades," he said.
"While house building has been strong for some time and apartment building is at healthy levels, the broadening of growth to include commercial construction is a welcome addition to the mix."
Housing Industry Association chief economist Harley Dale said a stronger construction sector is a tick in the box for the overall economy.
"Labour market outcomes, as well as economic growth will be assisted in 2014/15 by Australia's construction industry, led by what is already a strong recovery in new home building activity," he said.

Downtown Colorado Inc. names new apartment complex best infill development
Reporter-Herald Staff Writer
Edgar Piedra of Denver-based Stripe a Lot paints numbers on parking spaces at the Gallery Flats apartment building at East Sixth Street and Lincoln Avenue in downtown Loveland on May 23 in preparation for the complex's opening June 1. Downtown Colorado Inc. has named the project the best infill development in the state for 2014. ( Craig Young )
LOVELAND -- The Gallery Flats apartment project that opened June 1 in downtown Loveland has been named Colorado's top new downtown construction project by Downtown Colorado Inc.
The five-story, 66-unit apartment building at the southwest corner of Sixth Street and Lincoln Avenue was the result of a collaboration between Fort Collins developer Brinkman Partners and the city of Loveland.
The city had identified the property, a former bank building that was temporarily housing museum collections, as the site for a "catalyst project" to help revive downtown Loveland by bringing more residents to the area.
The city sold the property to Brinkman at a discount, and the Loveland Urban Renewal Authority committed $1.5 million in public improvements, to be repaid through tax-increment financing over 14 years, according to a release from the city sent Thursday afternoon.
"We're excited to receive this award," Mike Scholl, the economic development manager for the city who facilitated the partnership with Brinkman, said in the release. "Gallery Flats has already been a great success and serves as another symbol of what's to come in downtown Loveland."
Gallery Flats won the Governor's Award for new construction, infill or redevelopment projects given by Downtown Colorado Inc., a private nonprofit group that promotes development of downtown commercial districts and town centers.
The award will be conferred at a dinner and reception at 5:30 p.m. Sept 11 at the Lincoln Center in Fort Collins during the organization's Vibrant Colorado Downtowns Conference.
Everybody knows Alfred Hitchcocks Rear Window is set in Greenwich Village. But few realize the massive Hollywood set on which the thriller takes place is based on an actual New York City location.
The address given in the film which opened 60 years ago this week is 125 W. Ninth St., a red brick apartment building where the wife murderer played by Raymond Burr lives in a rear apartment with a fire escape that Grace Kelly climbs to look for evidence.

As was customary in crime films back then, the address is fictitious. But film historian Donald Spoto, a longtime resident of the West Village, traced that address a few years ago to 125 Christopher St. as Ninth Street is called west of Sixth Avenue.
Its not an easy building to get into theres no doorman, and the super didnt answer the doorbell. But around the corner on West 10th Street, The Post was welcomed into a Federal-era townhouse on the other side of the courtyard for a rarely seen rear view of 125 Christopher and the neighboring buildings that inspired the movies set.
Yes, this is where Jimmy Stewart lives in Rear Window, says the tenant, actor-director Sean Gullette. Architecture is one of the building blocks of making films, and Hitchcock was brilliantly inspired by this view.
Even with a vista partly obscured by trees absent from Hollywoods version, its recognizably the same point of view seen from the apartment of Stewarts wheelchair-bound photographer-turned-voyeur.
Granted, the backyard fence is taller than the one Kelly, Stewarts fashionable girlfriend, scales in high heels Gullette thinks the fence may have been rebuilt fairly recently. But even in 1954, the set designers rearranged things to accommodate the intricacies of Hitchcocks plot and camera moves.
Sixty years later, its easy to imagine where Raymond Burrs apartment would have been and where Miss Lonelyhearts (Judith Evelyn) lived just below, and the fire escape where another couple slept in an era when few working-class people had air conditioners.
A building at 125 Christopher St. (inset) provided Rear Window director Alfred Hitchcock (on-set with Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly) with an imaginary stage for murder. The Post photographed it from a nearby West 10th Street townhouse that shares the same point of view as Stewarts apartment.Photo: Courtesy of Everett Collection; Zandy Mangold
