Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Barns or Any Dilapidated Buildings
My house is falling down, but I discovered this morning that it is falling down in pieces, not in one solid lump. This is good.
Our shed really is collapsing and Owen is planning to take it down. What we will do with all the stuff inside it, I have no idea, but the roof is so covered with green growth if a branch falls on it, it will cave in.
Our shed does not make much of a picture. You can’t really tell how badly off it is. It looks okay, but it isn’t.
Perhaps you should keep the shed, always good for an interesting photo

The problem is, it really IS collapsing. It was a cheap things from Home Depot and it has lasted 18 years, which is amazing considering I think it cost us maybe $500? But the roof is gone. But I don’t have any idea what we are going to DO with all the stuff in it. There’s no place to put it.

There was a very small four room house in our backyard that my parents rented out for a while. It eventually fell to far into disrepair to use as rental property, so we turned it into an oversized storage shed. Then the city condemned it and we were left with the same problem of what to do with the stuff that was in there. I think other than the stuff we had to save, we just let the city crew haul everything off when they razed it. Would a yard sale be impractical where you live? I don’t know how much of the stuff you have in the shed are things you need to keep and how much is just extraneous junk…

I know a lot of it is seasonal stuff — snow shovels and rakes and stuff to trim the garden and all that stuff. What else is in there? No idea … but the city isn’t going to haul away anything. We are going to do the hauling — and we will pay for the privilege, too.

We had to put up a shed (also from Home Depot) for all our son’s stuff. Hope it lasts 18 years.

After 18 years, that shed doesn’t owe us anything. But we’re going to have to pay to have all the rubbish hauled away.

What to do with all the rubbish?…..

Sterling question. The answer is “Pay someone to take it away.” There really is no choice.

Is it safe to make firewood of it?

No. It’s that wood we impregnate so it can be used for houses. It’s full of poisonous chemicals.

This stuff goes to the hazardous waste site. So we will pay for it. We don’t even HAVE a dump in this town.

Thank you. Some of our best barns are in really good shape. People rebuild them. They are too important to farmers to let them fall down. And then, there’s our shed …
