Any idea what sparked the fire? I know you said accidental. When our neighbors house burnt, they had been staining in their garage and left rags that combusted, didn't know if they found the source or not for your fire.

I do know what started it, some warm ashes in a bucket. Caught a few pine needles on fire, then few leaves where I had swept the floor and tossed them in the bucket.
The ash bucket is metal the trash bucket was plastic, well now I put the hand full of ashes in the plastic bucket. been no fire since previous day bout 18 hours earlier. I used my had for the ashes. The ceiling fan running created enough air to rekindle them.
took about 4 1/2 hours for it break through roof.
Not smart for a fireman to do something that careless!

It happens to the best of us and the key thing is to learn from the mistakes and not make the same one twice.
What saved our neighbors house, the fire was in the garage and it burnt through the alarm system wiring triggering the alarm waking them up to see who was breaking in.

Been little over a year since my barn burned, repairs have been slow as I have a real job so nights and weekends it is.
Been blessed along the way, purchased most of my wood before the "shortage"!!!
Have a friend that has a saw mill and he gives me great prices on lumber when I need it.
A number of friends have chipped in as well.
Adding a few updated pictures of the progress.
