ANOTHER BITE OUT OF THE ELEPHANT

As predicted, today dawned cloudy and drizzly. That situation along with yesterday being pretty much a play day prompted me to get down to business. So I tackled the section of the barn with the big north facing door that houses all the scrap lumber and building materials. I hauled a 4 wheeler trailer load of the smaller width boards I didn’t want to the woodshed and cut them up with the chain saw. I’m going to try to burn a lot of boards this winter.

I rebuilt the lumber rack which had fallen down and stacked the boards I wanted to keep on it. I sorted through the old doors and kept a few of the better ones. I left most of the old windows for another day as well as the metal items which I will take to Pacific Recycling in Lewiston. The fun part was cleaning out the old straw, dirt and animal droppings. It doesn’t sound like much but I filled the Power Wagon including the ladder rack.
