Looks good slice. It would take me a week to build that. Lol

I'm packing up and moving onto the next job. Said goodbye to Mark and a few locals that turned into friends since I have been here.

Mark had been really good to me and I made sure he knew how much I appreciated him and the opportunity he gave me.

Onto the next job. I'm taking a partial load down to Tallahasse, heading over to Jacksonville for a day or 2 and then back to Madisonville Tennessee for the next one.

It's one that has already fallen to the ground so I have to do it next before it starts to rot from ground moisture.

I do have several barns I need to go look at and secure so I may take a couple days and go do that.

I'm headed to Greenville Kentucky in the morning to look at a barn.

I'll leave for Tallahassee when I get back.

I'll post some pics of the barn in Greenville tomorrow.

You do really, really nice work man.


I would post pics of the barn in Greenville Kentucky, but it was so bad I don't believe I'm gonna fool with it.

I usually have them send pics before I'll go look at a barn so I don't waste a bunch of time.

This was an old farmer and he wasn't very tech savvy and said he couldn't send pics. Either he didn't know how or he lied to get me there to look at it.

He said it was a big barn and in pretty decent shape.

It was small and just needs a match put to it.

I don't know if folks lie in purpose, hoping that they can talk me into it or they are just generally that ignorant about what would be considered good.

This one was bad all the way around.

First strike was that it was a tobacco barn. The process of curing the tobacco can cause the boards to be brittle due to the heat and smoke.

Second strike was that the roof was off part of it allowing it to stay wet and rot.

Third strike was the greyboard on the outside was curled and cracked from the weight of the barn trying to collapse.

It had 2 good interior walls and that was about it.

Oh well, it happens.

I may have picked up a couple of 1800 log cabins though.

Was driving through a small town and noticed an old farmhouse on the side of the road. It had been clapboarded and a couple had fallen off and I saw logs peeking through.

I turned around and pulled in. Could not find any info such as an address to identify who owned it. A guy pulled in at a home across the street so I walked over to ask him if he knew the owner.

He did, but said there was no way they would sell it.

However, he had 2 log cabins built in the 1800's on one of his farm he would like me to look at. He said it was too muddy now because of the rain but he would try to send me some pics when it drives up some.

We exchanged info and then I drove back to Tennessee.

I then hooked up my trailer and brought the last of the wood from this job down to Florida last night.

Just left my buyer and gonna get some food in me, and then a hotel room and some sleep.
