Fust things fust, where's the shitta? - Fat Bastard 2002

Getting it framed:
I put together the frame at the house. The frame has 4x4 footings and 2x4 uprights and frame.

Frame from the other direction. I built this in one day.

My neighbor and I moved the frame to the final destination on his trailer, I put the walls there. Here you can see the work in progress.

The roof and shingles being put on prior to finishing the front. Note the truck and tools. Shelby accompanied me this day.

Same day, from a different angle. Note my cooler inside the OH on the drink ledge.

Doug getting ready to take care of business.
A side shot of the OH. I have a number of old horse shoes collected over the years while searching for Indian relics which I nailed two to the northern side of the OH.

Doug coming out after the business is transacted.
Not the barbed wire between the horseshoes. This is Brinkerhoff Face Clamp Barb. For you barb enthusiast Brinkerhoff is flat sheet metal ribbon with two point sheet metal clamp-on barb. Barb plate is cut so that barb can be bent around ribbon. Patent #241,601, May 17, 1881 by Jacob & Warren M. Brinkerhoff of Auburn, N.Y.
I collected this barbed wire from an old fenced area close to my home. You don't find this around often. In 25 years of collecting in fields, I have only found old 1880 barbed wire twice.

Front of the house after installing the front panels and door. In this view you can see the rope handle/lock and locking horseshoe.
