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.

Just curious as how the Amish restored barn looked. I spent many happy
childhood summers on relatives farms in Southern Michigan. The barns
weren't for tobacco drying but the construction is similiar. Nothing like
jumping from the loft into a pile of straw.




Well, it looks about the same, except there are some new "old" boards
that haven't been painted...
