Our barn burned down about 2am on Wednesday, Sept 10th. We were sound asleep, all snuggled in for the night when the dog went psychotic on us and scared the crap out of us. Tom said someone was pounding on the door and I thought he said someone was breaking down the door (as in breaking in the house). Grabbed the phone to call 911 and he said, "no, they are banging on the door."
All I hear was, "explative! the barn is burning!" and that was that. Come to find out that someone I used to drive bus with drives truck now and was coming home on Hwy 29 and saw the flames all the way to the Hiway, over 3 miles away.
Needless to say, it is a total loss... the firefighters fought it for about 1 1/2-2 hrs and just said it would be faster to watch it burn rather than keep fighting it... They did a great job containing the fire and keeping any of the other buildings from catching fire.
Here are a couple of pictures of the aftermath...
