Thanks! I think there were seven structures lost and the fire covered a total of a little over 1200 acres. Two close neighbors lost houses, and two other neighbors lost outbuildings and had smoke damage but the fire fighters were able to save their homes (they've got some pretty harsh smoke damage, however). I lost about 2000 feet of fence which had cedar posts, but it was old and greatly in need of replacement, anyway, so not crying any tears over that. The fences with all-steel construction were fine.Wow, that was a close call. Glad everybody is OK and the house didn't get hit. Pula! (That's the national motto of Botswana; it means something like "Pray for rain" in Setswana.)
I did have JUST ONE LEG burn off of a deer blind somehow. But I just jacked it up with a tractor jack and scabbed on another 2x6 in its place. Before fixing it I told my son that "It might be a plumb bob or two off of center, but you won't notice it after you get inside"
