There was a shed on the side of what we called the back stable that was starting to cave in. My Dad added it on 50 or so years ago. It was built out of cedar posts plywood steel roof and inch boards sandwiched together for rafters. It was originally built as a corn silage bunker ,never intended to be a very long term facility. In the early 80s till 2 years ago we used to keep up to 20 6-12 month old heifers in there. It was 16 wide had a very wide roof and 40 long. For the last number of years anytime a 60 mph plus wind storm was brewing Id have to set the loader bucket on the side of the roof to keep it in place. Lost sections of steel numerous times and finally it was starting to cave in. I decided we dont need it anymore considering its condition and the structure beside it was still sound so I decided to strip it down save all the salvageable steel and tear it down. That was in June and I just finished closing it in minus the ridge cap today. Goal achieved ,I just wanted it finished before snow starts flying. It was a solo effort but its done. I got enough steel for the roof from my cousin in exchange for running power to his beef barn. There was 3 tandem truck loads of demolition wood a bit of scrap steel and enough still to near fill the 6x4 dumpster once they empty it this week. I dont want to let the place start falling down and becoming an eyesore behind the house along the road so as long as Im able Im going to keep things up. It was a little sketchy taking the roof steel off as in about a quarter of the roof the only thing holding the remaining rafters up were the screws in the steel.

Today's Featured Article - The Revival of a John Deere Combine - by The Red, John Fritz. For several years I had been driving by a farm house on the west side of Indianapolis that had a John Deere combine parked in high weeds in a lot behind the house. The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
