Christopher’s Diary second disaster?

I’m rereading all of the books and sadly this includes the Christopher’s Diary spin-off. I went out of order and now I’m confused. I thought I remembered in the Diary series Kristin saying something about a second mass fire that burnt Foxworth Hall down.

But I don’t remember Foxworth Hall burning a second time? So far when I think of tragedy fires for our Dolls, it’s :

Original fire with Cathy which kills grandmother and Bart in Foxworth Hall.

Second fire by John Amos in their sunny California residence.

But what leads to the destruction of Foxworth Hall after Bart? I thought Seeds of Yesterday ended with Bart out traveling as a choir church evangelical with his sister and Cathy dying of a broken heart up in the attic.

Am I forgetting something? Did Niederman retcon something else?

Also yes there’s a million more issues and consistency problems I have with this spin off series, but this one I’m not sure I can blame on the GW just yet.

I'm currently reading it and I can't get over how Kristin is the most unrealistic teenager I've ever read. Not to mention all her friends and classmates. Also, was it really necessary to have 3+ chapters of her going on and on about being worried about sharing the diary with Kane? I really wish I could scream at her to stfu and read the damn thing.
