On January 21, 2005 we had a barn fire.  Among the things lost:

5 tractors

27 round bails of hay

500 square bails of hay

Just to name a few things.  Below are the first pictures I've taken.

There are a couple of pictures in this section, on page 2 from inside.  There are a couple of pictures of tractors inside the barn.

 

Beaver

I thought I'd throw this in. It's 1 of 2 beaver living in the pond behind the house.

Barn

This is looking from what was the driveway toward the tobacco strip shed. On the right hand side of where the gate is bent over is the general area of where it started.

Cycle Bar

This is a cycle bar on a old International Farmall H tractor, used for cutting hay. It's not suppose to be bent over like that, it's suppose to be straight.

Hay

This is where the hay was. Still smoldering as of Feb 2nd.

Another shot of the hay smoldering.

This is the front of what use to be an International 584.

This is the remains if, I believe a 1943 International H.

I think this is the 1949 IH H

The remains of an early 80's John Deere

The second barn was very close to catching on fire. It chared the side a little, melted some of a plastic tarp and the seat on the lawn mower on the left hand side started to melt. There were 15 round bails of hay only feet from the lawn mower. Very close to loosing this one also.

Still smoldering

I think this is a early 50's International Super A

Another angle looking towards the tobacco stip shed.

The front of the John Deere on the left and International 584 on the right. There is a feed, grinder-mixer behind the 584
