Barn Rubble

Here is what the big barn ruble looked like on 6-26-17:


And here is an updated photo, with a slight progress of "rubble-be-gone"


 It was very humid when I took this photo, so it looks strange (foggy lens), but you can see that we have re-homed some roofing and other parts.

Since I took that second photo, the entire roofing is now gone (but a few rusty pieces).  We can now dig out the siding. 

 Progress is being made.




 Also, I have the pulleys out of the ruble now.  The plan is to make a lamp with them.  It could be a winter project.

I love those wooden pulleys, looking forward to seeing what you do with them.

Good progress. (But some projects take waaaay longer than we would like, don't they?)

Love the pulleys! Why don't you just burn the rest and recycle the metal? Love when progress is made! Good for you guys!

mamasmercantile, I have three of them. I think that's all that was in the barn, so I am looking up ideas now.

Mama Pea, you are right. It will take a long time to remove all of this, but the siding will be pulled this next week.

Sam I Am, we are giving most of the siding to the folks who knocked the barn down, then will cut up anything not painted for burning.

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

Chit Chat

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
