Becky needed a few items for her farm
that were currently taking up residence on the main farm.
So, the items were loaded and hauled
to the ‘55’ farm.
A trough feeder was loaded. The feeder was sitting (rusting) unused in
the pasture. It was perfect to serve
feed up to Becky’s newest acquisition…her pigs.
A few bales of hay were loaded. Glenn had just purchased some bales of
hay. He filled the main hay barn as well
as a section of the utility barn (No more vehicle parking there.) The remaining bales were lying around and
taking up space in the yard. They
would be better off stored in the big old barn at ‘55’. So, those scattered few
bales were loaded.
The hardest item to load was the
OUTHOUSE. Yes, OUTHOUSE. This outhouse
was also sitting out in the pasture, not rusting, but rotting. So, off to ‘55’. This outhouse would be transformed into a
feed storage bin so that Becky could purchase pig feed in bulk - much easier
and much cheaper than buying it in 50 pound bags as she has been doing since
the pigs were added to her farm animal mix.
Now, why did we have a outhouse
sitting in our pasture? That is another story
for another blog. But, this outhouse had
gone unused for over 10 years waiting for just such a time when it could be put
back into action; a different action, but action nonetheless.
I was told that the rolls of toilet
paper were still in place, though.
The load slowly moved down the highway to '55' where it was unloaded.
And, maybe no one will notice the privy
as it hides behind the silo when it is finally put into place. But, right now, it is in full view sitting in
the barn lot. The cows have shown no
interest or intent on using this structure which has just shown up in their
domain.
Recycle, reuse, upcycle…you make that
choice!
