It has been an exciting couple of days. While I was in Barrie, Fred continued to remove much of the pine siding and maple flooring. Thomas was a great help, coming after work to load the trailer of anything else which was to be salvaged.
Wednesday the old Winoka was torn down and last night the fire department came to burn what was left. I was amazed that the large pile of rubble had been tidied up to a neat pile and the surrounding area clear
ed. It took under two hours for the flames to subside, but I am told it will smolder for another couple of days. The fire department told us that the heat at the fire was over 1400 degrees F. We sat over 100 ft back and cold feel the heat.The remainder of the road is in, the old driveway has been re-leveled and the space for the septic tank was cleared by Ken.
Fred has left for Elliott Lake to help Ken finish his cottage and I am left to hold down the fort!
I'm still learning how to do this. Maybe next time the pics will be in order!
