Couple of photos

Still here! The yard is a little more cleared up. We cut up the caravans on Monday (omg, bits of steel chassis weigh A LOT) and now we just have to burn the wood off and get rid of the aluminium. We still haven't tackled anything of the (former) hay barn. How the hell do you get rid of semi burnt hay that's littered with bits of asbestos roof? Poo. I'm in work tomorrow but I think I'm going to have Friday off to try and sort some more stuff out.

The completely burnt caravan:


Hay barn wreckage:



But on the plus side, I got me an Eyebrow Raise of Sexyness icon. Now I'm going to bed.

Very carefully?

Ugh, you poor thing. I can't believe you have to deal with that. It just sucks all around.

It does suck. But on the plus side, I've got lots of fresh air this week (and some billowing smoke, but let's ignore that bit!)!

oh man.
progress is good, though.
I wonder what you're actually supposed to do about the asbestos? (rhetorical, really) Without that, you could just spread it out and let it seed in spring. or something.

I know. I was thinking we could just chuck all the hay onto the wood pile for burning, but I'm thinking that deliberately burning asbestos is not a good idea! I think we might just get a digger in and bury it all.

Oh wow. What a mess.

Hot icon, though. ;)

It looks a bit better than that now. Not much, but a bit!

I realised last night that a quarter of my icon slots are now Atlantis and only 21 are Harry Potter. My shift in fandom allegiance is now official!

You guys are using face-masks rated for hazardous chemicals, right? I hope so. Man, that is so nasty. What a drag. You never said (unless I missed it), but -- you guys are all insured, aren't you? You'll be recompensed?

We haven't touched the asbestos yet and there's nothing in the caravans so we've been fine so far. We haven't decided what on earth we're going to do with the asbestos littered hay yet. The council won't come and get it unless we pay them.

Nope, the owner has no insurance on his buildings - I'd have been surprised if he had to be honest - so he's going to have to pay out of his own pocket to rebuild the barn. My horse is insured as is his tack but our caravan (one of them belonged to four of us - we only paid £25 each) and hay isn't so there's nothing we can claim for really. It's not too bad for me personally as I've only lost about £20 worth of hay. it's the inconvenience of the aftermath that's the worst thing.

Jeez. I'm so sorry this happened to you. People suck *gets out large poking stick*

People suck donkey balls.

*takes large poking stick and beats arsonists around the head with it and then uses it for its intended purpose*

HEHE, that's part of it's intended use as well, it's just not in the name lol. :D
