This litte building was in the field to the south of the house...where we found the brick foundation to the other house. It was very low and we are thinking that someone may have built it as a dog breeding place or maybe had a few pigs. In later years it was used as a dump...but we did find some neat old stuff in there...We were going to reuse the wood from it for the chicken coop, but as we started to tear it down, all we found was ant and termite damaged wood. So, we tore off most of the roof.
Here are the two runs on the back of the old structure. There are two small dog looking houses in there too.
Charles calls me a pyro...but he had fun setting this fire. We started it with a little boy scout juice...some soaked pieces of cloth and whatever was in the barn. (You should have seen Charles dancing when a family of mice started running out of some junk he picked up..tee-heee)
This fire got pretty impressive...so much so that we went ahead and pulled the garden hoses around from the other side of the house. A couple of nearby trees started burning just from the heat, there were actually no flames touching them. The leaves on the trees above looked like they had a wind blowing up at them...
And now it is over! There is just a pile of ashes and metal left to clean up...That was pretty cool!!
