Thanks Alex....I have no idea why I would remember that...I guess I had empathy for Joan trying to do her baking!

The maple leaf in the frame, was hammered out by dad (Ted) out of a piece of my copper water pipe. This inspired me to build the truck, from brass, copper, and aluminun. Took about 3 years to build.(he picked up a maple leaf in the fall and scribed it on the copper after flattening it)then cut it out with tin snips.

Jodna says:

I did not get water flowing fast enough from pumper, Lightening struck the antenna, and caused the fire.


Was anyone living there?  Did it burn down totally?
I remember when we were in the farmhouse and we were sat round the campfire and the fire department came down the driveway...YOU on the way back from another fire!..lol
