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...

That's because it is not a frekin' tobacco barn. Wrong configuration
for drying tobacco, but don't tell the origional poster that, it will
ruin his fantasy. I grew up in Tobacco town CT... That is not a barn
origionally designed for drying tobacco, even if they dried some in it
once... Tobacco barn, honest to pete

It's a genuine Maryland tobacco barn. Period. I know when it was built,
and who built it, and the family of the original owner gave me some old
photos with tobacco drying in it, and a number of the side boards open
for airing the crop.

It sits right across the road from my field, which was last used to grow
tobacco about seven years ago. This year, for the first year in many, we
have an actual crop (not tobacco!) growing there. It took years to
replenish the ground there.

Within 15 miles of my house are at least 100 Maryland tobacco barns.
They don't all look alike.

This ain't shade tobacco country.

Stick to what you know...building stitch and glue boats out of plywood
sheets.

Man, we used to spend hours making hay bale forts, jumping in piles of
hay, and swinging from ropes in our barns!!!
Good memories!

Here is a perfect example of your inability to read for comprehension. You
do appear to be a little stressed out. Take a chill pill.
