Revolving bits of wood

Between the old stone barn, which we had to pull down to make safe, and the "new" concrete barn ('new' being a relative term), was a wooden joining section which had fallen down long before we arrived. We had been intending to deal with the pile of wood for a long time, and now it is finally cleared.

Here's the half way stage.

The front piece still stands, in a precarious fashion. You can see the remains of a stone wall behind an elderbush on the right and the first concrete pillar of the new barn on the left and the neighbours barn in the background.

Much of the wood was so rotten it went straight to the bonfire, a bit was sawn into logs for the fireplace and a few huge planks were saved for the useful bit's of wood pile.

Under all the beams and tiles there wasn't much. The remains of a dog kennel, some swingle trees, the remains of a thresher (the second we have found on the farm. How many do you need? The first might work with a bit of time and attention so we still have it bit this one was the going anywhere. What we will do with the first, we have no idea. Anyone want a historic thresher?) The only vaguely useful find was two exceedingly long drive shafts.

So, another space cleared for when the bulldozers arrive.
Just the roof and beams in the old house to sort out now.
