Pretty work! What size? Salvage is the way to go if you can find it. Probably saved a boatload.

The building is 36x50. Trusses came off a 35+ year old chicken house and needed some work but we are pretty happy with it.

You'd think someone could make use of it. We have donated them to the local senor citizens homes and the local nursing homes until they are tired of feral pig. So now they go into the composter until they decide they want more. It's to bad the schools can't use them. That was close to 400 lbs of meat went bye bye. |

And the state government is deffunding all state programs to get rid of the pigs. And this liability doesn't cover guiding hunters on state land. So if I was to charge you just to even cover my fuel expenses and you got hurt. I'm liable. Now if you can figure that out you might be able to run for a government position. |

There is a 12v bilge pump in the barrel, plugged into the 12v auxiliary port on the fender, controlled by the switch seen at the back. Nick |

I grew up in a small town in western MD, smithsburg. Every fall, around the end of September, for around the last 40 years or so, is the a Steam and Craft show. It's a great collection of vintage engines, not just lined up to show, but actually doing work. The saw mill is by far my favorite thing to watch. They also have a thrasher, a parade of machines, and awesome stew made in a huge iron kettle over an open fire. It's been quit some time since I was in th area to att me, but it looks like I may be in the area this year. I don't know how this adds up to other events, but it truly was one of the highlights of Autumn when I was growing up. Thanks for reminding me to what I've been missing....
