Um, no?

There are three distinct styles of tobacco barn depending on where you
live in a tobacco growing region. That barn in Harry's photograph is
probably adapted from a tobacco barn and or repurposed for other use,
but it's pretty clear that the main structure is a classic Maryland
tobacco barn.

The types of barns you see for CT shade tobacco are technically called
sheds and have different drying characteristics than other types of
tobacco barns.

In NC, for example, the structures are about 12'X12' to a side and are
usually open to allow for air movement. They also have a type of shed
that looks very similar to the CT shed, but operates differently in
terms of air flow.

The last time I looked into this and it was a while ago I'll admit,
there were three types of CT Shade tobacco barns/sheds and overall
about ten different styles of tobacco barns in tobacco country.

Uh huh. Where, crap-for-brains, did you get the idea that the shed in

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.- Hide quoted text -

"Maryland barn red"? WTF is THAT?

I really hate to be defending Harry on things, but yes, there is such
a thing as Maryland Red - just like there is a classic Williamsburg
Blue. Maryland Red is very similar to what they used to call Dutch
Red you saw on PA barns, only it has a lower orange component and is a
slightly lighter shade.

You have to remember that colors used to be associated with regions
because of the difference in ingrediants, dyes, etc.

Now I know you are going to ask how I know all this - well, I had to
wade through a physics dissertation that had some math in it and
unfortunately some of the historical data just soaked into my brain
and sat there. :)

Maryland Red is not a predominate color, and there is no such thing as
"Maryland Barn Red". And actually, barns in central PA and Maryland
were white. The reason for plain old red barns is because ferrous
oxide was cheap. Red color had nothing to do with nor were there
specific colors of red used.

*You* obviously give a damn, since you tried to make an issue out of it.
And your idiot son, Loogy, gives a damn, too, since he questioned the
concept of a "Maryland red tobacco barn" color. Maybe this summer, you,
Loogy, Florida Jim, California Bill, Herring, and the rest of the snarky
retards can get together on a back porch somewhere, determine who has the
most albino skin and reddest eyes, play the banjo and relive your glory
days from "Deliverance."
