The Big Burn


The time came to burn Ted's house down. We purchased Ted's acreage about a year ago, and due to some DNR regulations, it was cost-prohibitive to try and fix up. We attempted to sell it as is, but no strong interest in the property with the house on it. So Noah worked with the Maxwell Fire Department to burn the house down. It was a very cold Sunday morning (Dec. 4) when the fire took place. Photos below document the morning.

Fire begins.


Harper enjoyed the show - from a distance!

Water supply.



Noah very happy it's almost gone!

This I found funny - for sale sign as the place burns down.




All gone. The plan now is to dig up the foundation, level off the lot, seed it to grass and maybe sell off to someone interested in building a house.
