Randy,
I always like pictures of old buildings. Even if they are made of freshly ripped pine boards. Give it a few years and it will be 150 years old. Then I shall visit for some jaw breakers and humbugs and licorice whips.

This building is down at the Antique Engine Grounds. They have a steam powered saw mill there and all of these "old" buildings are made of timbers from the mill. I'm going to become a member of this group because it's like a living museum. I've posted pictures from this place before, like the old gas station.

Reminds me of the "Newt Spears General Store" that used to sit beside the dirt road about a mile from my Grandfather's place in Tennessee. The only thing missing is the single gasoline pump, with the large globe on top (and a few locals in high-backed overalls on the front porch, rolling cigarettes and talking politics)! ;D And there really was a Newt Spears...I had a crush on his daugter when I was 15!

Great picture Randy,
You'd have thought they could have knocked up a water butt made of wood though!
Regards - John
