Perfect shelter for a cheaply built workboat.


Uh huh. Where, crap-for-brains, did you get the idea that the shed in
question belonged to me?

It's just one of the many rigging sheds on the premises of my boat dealer.
There's room in this particular shed for three boats on trailers to be
rigged simultaneously. There are at least four other large steel buildings
for rigging on the premises, and a double wide concrete fresh water filled
ramp to test engines on their boats.

My "shed" is an old tobacco barn that "conveyed" with my land purchase:

Since this photo was taken, I've had the rotted boards replaced. But it's
still just an old tobacco barn, home for some farm implements and in the
winter, families of woodland critters.

If you were to find yourself homeless, I couldn't let you move in...the
critters would object to your stench.


How about a picture with the boards replaced?




Yeah, I need to do that. They haven't been painted yet...I'm trying to
hasten their aging and maybe this summer I will have the entire
structure painted Maryland barn red again. I discussed this last summer
with the Amish crew, but we never came to an agreement.

Why do you want the photos? Are you a barn buff?

Oh...boating related...there are two canoes and a kayak stored inside
the barn on occasion...they belong to friends who "launch" at a nearby
Bay park.
