coknuck Posted November 2, 2006 CID Share Posted November 2, 2006 From the first picture it only took 8.5 minutes to burn down this morning. I was standing over 200 feet away on the up wind side and it was burning my face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coknuck Posted November 2, 2006 Author CID Share Posted November 2, 2006 Yes it was a planned burning. All I can say is it was very intense. The power of the fire was remarkable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roco Posted November 3, 2006 CID Share Posted November 3, 2006 wow only 8.5 min. I guess with the tin roof and open windows the barn developed the chimney efect , a good example of why fire doors should be kept shut, that hot huh, hope the lens coating was OK , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted November 3, 2006 Author CID Share Posted November 3, 2006 Roco, never thought of the coating, I will check. It kind of made me sick to watch it burn. The barn was 125yrs. old. The superstructure was all hand hewed logs drilled and pegged. Not one nail in the frame work. If it was mine it would still be there.

Hi coknuck , lawyer !!!! , lets make the whole world safe, when it hits them they don't now why , but you can be sure they will sue , Yeah I share your feelings about craftsman built things , we now have a strong preservation thing in the UK, far too late IMHO, but it is working , otherwise what will be left for future generations to learn from , but money still talks , if they want something down , burning is the easy way I spent a year of my life fighting as a Eco warrior to save a centre from ww1 & 2 for Canadian wounded soldiers , it included a art deco theatre and a historic workhouse from the 18 century , we nearly won, but it burnt down by accident now it has been redeveloped as a upmarket housing estate ,all I got was beaten around a bit , and put on a Gov. list , ooh , sorry I am nearly getting into a rant , regards Roco UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
