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 - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Deere Departed Friend - by Dave Gohl. Have you ever had to part with a dear friend? It's not easy. If it's due to death, your feelings could be in disarray for days, months or even years. Even now after almost 4 years, I still miss my dad. I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
