Very Nice to see an old building saved instead of turfed.

That was an old maddox head I found, put a cut off old wheel barrow handle into it. And had at it.

I did buy a really nice Adez later, found it in an antique shop paid 45.00 for it with a crack in the handle. But man it works fine.

Thanks for the replys and interest, doubt I'll be doing a project like that again
but was fun looking back at the pictures.

Was quite a feat.

Used to be a lean to on the left side of the shed (looking from the front) when
I tore it down a copperhead snake shot under the building and came out the
back.
As I walked around back to look under the shed I almost stepped on it.
Was about 2' long and coiled just 6" from my foot.

It didn't bite but I did about a back flip to get out the way.

Hence the name on the sign on the front of the shed became..
"CopperHead Shed".

At reading the sign most lost folks who drive in here likely think it's
my personal distillery. They don't stop just turn around go back out.

Copperhead snake? You must be located in the eastern US.

They are cool critters, .... but you don't want to play with one !!!

Really cool building. I saw quite a few of those (and that type of construction) down in your neck of the woods. Truly an art form. Nice job.
