Another Barn Discovery

I apologize in advance for the fuzzy photo, but these pulleys are way at the top and I was on the ground photographing them.  They are the original wood pulleys, still intact.  I took a quick picture for our album.

 There is one more at the very top peek of the barn too.

Once again, we have someone interested in the barn.  What's left of it, minus what we'll take from it.  Not sure if it will happen, but we'll see.  This will be the umpteenth person to look it over.  It is a lot of work, but I would like to see it reused as much as possible.

Old barns and their histories. Don't you wish your barn could talk and tell all the stories!

Mama Pea, there are 70's license plates on the north side of it too. I would love to know it's story.

I love those pulleys! Do you plan to build another barn?

Just for fun, I looked those up online. They're being sold for as little as $25 to as much as $185 each, so you might be able to make a bit on them if you can get them down. Google "vintage wood barn pulleys" or "antique wood barn pulleys".
Those beams are still sturdy and strong. I bet you could sell those individually too cause you can't buy them like that at lumber supplies or home improvement stores anymore.
God bless.

Susan, we do plan to put up a new barn down the road. We just have to get this one down, all the dead trees taken care of and a few other projects done first (including a dog fence).

RB, I looked up the value too. They are way up at the top. We'll see if these last folks really do want the materials.

Kim, I'd love to keep one, but we may give the materials to the next person interested. We haven't heard back if they are simply waiting for better weather or not interested yet.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger.

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
