Our barns burned down tue night
« on: December 09, 2009 - 05:28:34 PM »
Loss list, 17 chickens, tractor, mower, rake, log splitter, and a ton of other stuff. Not sure what started it but it doesnt take long for a 130 yr old barn to go.

Sorry for your loss. It amazes me how a tractor can go through a fire like that and still have green paint on it. That's some good paint. Good luck to you.

Thankfully it didn't spread to your house!
Sorry for your bad luck, but hopefully you have insurance to replace most of the material items you lost.  And other than the chickens, no one got hurt at least!
