Pyromania? Firestarter? Burnin' down the house!!!

The henhouse is engulfed in flames!
We FINALLY did it!! After having lived here for a little over six years, I finally got rid of that hideous eyesore, my Aunt Wilma's henhouse. Now, I loved my Aunt Wilma, DEARLY, and I remember going out to help her get the eggs when she used to raise chickens (and I also remember screwing up my face and trying to look like I liked her Fried Mush - my Lord, how I never wanted to do anything to hurt her feelings, but I hated Fried Mush, and it was all I could do to keep it down).

Anyway, the old henhouse has served its purpose, and it needed to go. Thank God for my sweetheart, and his son, JR (that's my boy!) who "took care of business" today!

This building was burnt down with permission by the proper authorities: the Ross County Sheriff's Department and the Springfield Volunteer Fire Department.

Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should anyone attempt to burn without proper notice to the authorities: not only for safety's sake, but by alerting the authorities they can take the proper precautions should the fire get out of hand. Additionally, depending upon what is being burnt in any given jurisdiction, an EPA Form may need to be completed. Since the Fire Department knew we were burning, they didn't have to call in the firemen as a result of any neighbors reporting what they might have suspected as a house fire (this was a big fire and there was a lot of smoke).

All's well! Goodbye old henhouse... gee, a camper would look nice back there...
