[AT] Rain (and mold vs burn)

[charlie hill]

Carl,

One of my future projects is to make a B out of 2 junkers.  One of the 
junkers was the victim of a hay barn fire.  I don't know if it was rained on 
or not.  Next time I see the guys that owned the barn I'll try to remember 
to ask them.  It's been a few years.  I don't know if they will remember. 
Personally it doesn't make sence to me.  Wet is wet and hot is hot.

Charlie
