more of the horse barn tear down story

Living on a busy highway, it is easy to sell (or sometimes give away) about anything we can drag up close to the road.
After Sasquatch got the horse barn torn down, he came back a couple of days later and loaded those heavy old, but usable, boards on a trailer and took them up front. Then he wrestled the doors on there too and took them up and propped them against the telephone pole.

One day later we had a buyer for the boards. A young couple. She told us she loved things made from old wood. She couldn't convince her husband to buy them right then but they came back the next morning for them.


Amazingly, they loaded them into this smallish car!  Goodbye boards!



Then the doors sat there. One guy stooped and took pictures of them and told Lonnie that they were worth hundreds of dollars...but days passed and no one else was interested.
I cut the price by a third and more days passed.

Then finally a knock on the door and a man with cash, ready to load them up! He did have to call a friend to come and help.   Goodbye doors!



Whew! That's a relief!

Sasquatch had loaded all the corrugated metal on the trailer and taken it to the recycling center where he made enough to buy a nice camping hammock ( I will show that another day ).



He also used a magnet on a pole to collect all these nails from the burn pile area. They can be taken for recycling next time.


There is still a couple of things left...the door to the hay room and also the window. I am hanging on to both...thinking I might do something with them...but I don't know what!
