I like to think it was both River and God

I thank GOD not goodness. ❤️🤟🀄🛐✝️ GOD was directing you to go outside your home to smell the 🔥 FIRE 🔥. GOD BLESS YOU Shelia❤️🥀🌹❤️🀄🛐✝️🤟👍❤️🀄

[@philvictor5537]

This definitely makes sense.

[@bowed305]

Glad y'all are okay. My big takeaway from this incident and video comes from your comments at the end. May we all have a little, or A LOT, more grace...in this comment section...in EVERY comment section...to the guys involved...to each other daily...yes, more grace. #YeeYee

[@gloriabrown2122]

Granger you need to still have the fire department/fire marshals out to investigate and find the source.

[@willholt2254]

For sure. Also, not ideal to get a lung full of the bad smoke...it's no fire pit you're inhaling. 1. Could be state law for you (unsure, but is here in NC) to report a fire and it be investigated 2. Insurance purposes if that is a factor 3. Bourbon Moth Woodworking channel has a really cool experiment on this very cause

[@tammywragg6254]

They already did that..

You put this out !! I would still call frie department because hot spots could start it over . I'm so sorry!! Love n Blessings

Also fire could be smoldering in a space in ceiling, walls or roof that could reignite. They don’t charge you for coming out - those property taxes are paying.

Wow Granger, God was watching over you! Love your attitude to the construction crew. Not blaming them for neglect. You have such a sweet spirit. Hope the barn will be better than ever.

Granger, your such a sweet soul. The kids trying to comfort you broke my heart, however u are all safe. I had a barn fire myself. Lost several sentimental items. My father told me to not cry, bc everything we own , is just being rented from God and it will end up in a dumpster some day . I still cried. God is still good . We ❤ u guys. YEE YEE.

[@melissadupont9083]

I know how you feel. About a year ago our barn caught fire and my dog was inside. Everything was destroyed in the morning hours. FYI if you see smoke coming out of a building and the doors are closed DO NOT OPEN!! It could cause a back draft and take your life. Glad everyone is safe.

[@ucantseeme5091]

I love your thankful attitude.....In all things give thanks....tough scripture to follow sometimes

[@kld50]

Granger the first thing you need to do is purchase fire extinguishers to be on every level and corner of the barn. Fire alarm system needs to be put in even before the construction is completed. God brought you out to look at the barn not by chance. It was a divine appointment. Seeing this and hearing the concern/fear in your voice took me back to when our home caught on fire and we almost lost my younger sister who was 16 at the time. She gets up at 5 AM to be at school by 6 AM for marching band practice. So by 5 PM in the evening she was tired when the fire happened. Our family home caught fire one evening. The kitchen/dining room area hallway to the back family room walls and ceiling were 1 inch pine and lacquered. The home was over 50 years old. Our youngest sister was home while our parents were visiting me at the hospital one hour away. She put grease on the stove to cook french fries and left the plastic handle, metal spoon in the pot of grease and went to the great room and sat down and fell asleep. Our two small dogs jumped on her and woke her up and the house was thick with smoke. She went next-door to the neighbors and told them and they thought it would be something they could put out. The entire kitchen was engulfed in flames and they called the volunteer fire department and they put the fire out. It was so hot that it warped, the refrigerator and freezer. The fire fighter said another 2 to 3 minutes we would’ve lost our entire home as it has just gotten into the duct system. The firefighters told us that the naughty wood pine that was lacquered was a fire waiting to happen. Lacquer is an accelerant for wood, especially old wood. Kudos to the Valparaiso Florida volunteer fire fighters as they cleaned it up before they left. We were out of our home for three months. We are very blessed that God watched over our youngest sister and two dogs. The lacquered knotty pine was removed from the rest of the walls in our home.

[@luvelvahacker8425]

I feel for you all as Nova Scotia has been on fire for 1 week today. My sister had to evacuate but she has now returned home and they saved her home but some of her friends in the area were not so lucky. I hope you are able to get the smoke smell out, it's very hard. My gf lost her home 2 yrs ago at Christmas, and most of the damage was smoke. God is great and I think River lead you to outside to the red barn that day. Sprinkler systems are a great thing to have.

[@Kris-ib2xt]

Oh yeah, very bad. Glad you were home and went out. Im sure it was River up above telling you to go check the barn!! I fully believe that the Lord sends us signals... thanks River!

God sent you out there. I'm sure of it. Thank God no one was injured. It could have been a lot worse. The barn could have completely burned down. At least it can be repaired. God was definitely with you. Like your son said, you could've been on tour. You have a sensitive sense of smell. They say never put oiled based, shellacked, stained etc rags into your washer. It can set your washer on fire too and burn your home down. Like Granger said, just throw them out. It's a good lesson to learn.

[@amywhigham4790]

Wow! Granger, you were out there at the right time! God's timing is everything! 😲 Thank God that the fire wasn't as bad as it was and that your barn is still standing! 😬 Also, thank God that no one was hurt and you all were safe! ☺️🥰

[@teresaf5480]

Same thing happened years ago I was working for a home improvement store family-owned and someone forgot to get rid of the trash with the paint and stain rags and sure enough it burned the business it was a complete loss ...the whole business burned up. God was awesome He moved you to go outside 🙌what an awesome Father we have❤

[@boobletownbobby9255]

I've been a woodworker for 20+ years and always spread out my rags and lay them flat on a non-combustible surface (like concrete) until they turn hard. Do this outside. Then you can throw them out. I also have a metal paint can filled with water halfway for rags inside, always seal the lid. On every can of pretty much any oil based stain, varnish, lacquer, poly, paint thinner, warns that they can spontaneously combust if not properly disposed. People never read it. Linseed oil is one of the worst offenders.....it's a great sealer for wood but when it evaporates on a rag after use, it heats up quickly. You can feel the heat coming from the rag.....bundled up and squished rags make this worse. Glad you caught this in time and saved some incredible head and heart aches. On a side note, I would reuse that burned wood. It turns out beautiful if you know how to prep it. Use a wire brush along the grain to remove to char, this exposes the sapwood and gives the wood some amazing texture. You can then stain or poly it. I've created many art pieces using this technique (called Shou Sugi Ban). You probably don't want it back on the wall but you could make a cool picture frame or another art piece out of it.

[@96chevydually6.5L]

When you opened that door you introduced a huge amount of oxygen to that fire and could have been killed or severely injured from a backdraft

[@kross7894]

[@joancramer7777]

First of all, I am thankful you are all okay. I truly believe it was the Holy Spirit guiding you to check the barn. When you said you opened the door and it was "demonic" looking - I also believe that. Satan is going after you because of your faith and new path in life, but he won't win. May God continue to bless you and your family. And I do think you sharing this experience with the rags is going to save many lives and property.

[@1964Potter]

I caught a fire burning in our garage. I smelled wood burning and just thought someone was having a campfire. Then I began to smell an electrical fire smell which prompted me to start sniffing out the source near walls in my kitchen. That’s when I opened the door in the kitchen that leads to our garage and there it was. Luckily we have a spigot and a hose in our garage and I put it out quickly. We were so lucky as we store many accelerants in our garage. The cause? An air purifier and a static charge that managed to ignite a desk that my granddaughter’s car seat was sitting on that then burnt the car seat which melted and then began to drip to the concrete floor and burnt a patch of that. Also nearby was cardboard boxes with a plastic storage bin sat on top of them that caught fire and melted as well. That is where I intervened. Crazy!

[@mcvt90909090]
