I built this barn when I was 15. Now it looks like I feel most days. In 08 I had a friend who lost his job and started doing handyman work. I told dad it only needed a few pieces of tin and a few 2x4’s and my friend could finish it in a day. He didn’t want to spend the money, it’s his barn. It’s really gone downhill since then.

I hate to see it fall into disrepair. My grandpa helped me build it. He used a walking cane and had bad cataracts back then but he could hand me up 2x4’s or tin. There is no electricity over here. I cut every piece of wood with a handsaw and every nail went in with a hammer.

The year before a tornado had destroyed everything we had. In the old house the walls and ceilings were built with southern yellow V-joint pine. I salvaged all of that wood I could. It’s what I used for flooring in this hay barn. Prettiest floor I’ve ever seen in a barn.

I was VERY distracted while I was installing this screen door! Can you see the problem?

Actuator is installed to the wrong end of the door frame.

My relatives that were loggers in Oregon used chainsaws with 6 foot blades. Mine? 14 inches.

When my kids were young, we started raising Katahdins (hair sheep). This ram was from Montana. He topped the scale at 435#

These are raised for meat? There is not much there for sheering.

I had one of those in my backyard one morning.
Only time I ever saw him.
It took care of my feral cat problem real fast.
Went from 14 cats to 2.

A few years ago I was at a cattle auction when a young girl rode her full blood Arabian into the sales ring.
Nobody would bid on the horse, everyone was there to buy cattle.
Finally a guy bid $100 because she was crying her eyes out.
The auctioneer tried to get her to cancel the sale but she said she had no choice.
She brought another one in right after and it was the same story.
I really felt sorry for her but there wasn't anything I could do.

That is a very sad story. When we sold our Arabian we were surprised at how few people in our area were not interested. They work cattle around here so....Arabians are not it. A lady who loves them came from Dallas and bought him. He was an awesome horse... sure loved to run!

Ive seen that after heavy rains . I'm guessing that he had insurance. Lotta Mercs there! I saw one like that that a guy from Florida ran aground on a sand bar in Savannah on opening of a tournament at 4AM. My friend was on board. He kept telling the guy to turn to port. "The guy said Shut-up I know what I'm doing." So my friend said " I shut up and braced for impact. The guy ran the boat 35 feet up on the sandbar. Took 2 days for Seatow to dig it out and drag it back off.

Those cords from the chute to the harness are used to steer the chute. I can't imagine this.

When there were rattlesnakes on the steps at my grandparents ranch, it was definitely time to shoot em up. One of my uncles had a tobacco can full of rattles.

Have any of you ever eaten rattlesnake? I have and it tastes like chicken!:sarcasm:

 

[Amish Heart]

We bought some canned rattlesnake to try with our kids when they were young. Cooked in brown sugar. Tasted like chicken in brown sugar

 

[NannyPatty]

I had some college in West Texas in San Angelo which is smack in the middle of rattlesnake country. I went through the food line once and they actually served it!! I had already tried it fresh at a rattlesnake show and it was much better.
