He really can’t.
Remember when I blogged about the husband’s new toy not fitting in our old barn/shed?
It looked something like this:
I was right…
And apparently that didn’t sit well with the other half so he did a little remodeling.
This is our old shed/barn that needs to be torn down.
Years ago, it housed a horse.
Now?
It’s a pile of rotted wood.
How rotted?
Really rotted.
It’s an eyesore that drives me nuts every single day.
The fact that it’s still standing defies all logic.
I’ve come to the conclusion that it hates me…
And refuses to die just because it can.
But back to the tractor.
The husband figured if he could straighten out a door…
He could get it inside.
Which he did, but not far enough inside due to that pesky center pole.
You know the one…
It holds up the rotted roof?
Yeah.
We don’t need that.
Mission accomplished.
He proved me wrong… and got the tractor in the shed.
How long there will be a roof over it is anyone’s guess.
One of my many talents is: Being Able To Look Into The Future.
It is a gift, I choose not to question it.
What I see there is a pile of rotten wood, which may or may not have been a barn. All this wood is on top of various lawn mowers and other para and phenalia.
There is a high risk of this pile catching fire. Thus eliminating two problems; rotten old barn and junk stored within.

He said that he’d get it in there. He never said he wouldn’t have to dig it out in a few weeks…

My wife is often right, even when she has no earthy business understanding what it is she is opining on. I’m not saying I hate that, but it often leaves me shaking my head.
I realized that WordPress separated me from your blog notifications. I’m going to try to reestablish that connection.

We don’t have to understand it to be right. That’s the beauty of being a woman.
As for the separation thing? That’s happened to a few of my friends and I have no idea why.
WTH WordPress!

There will always be a roof over the tractor. It’s just that the roof may end up bridging the distance between them…

I love your hubs attempts at proving you wrong and his defiance in trying, lol. I have to say, that old barn/shed looks like I might keel over at any minute. Maybe he’ll be really angry when it does, like right on his new toy. 😉

Every winter I say it’s going to collapse under the weight of the snow…. and every spring the damned thing is still there.
When it does collapse on his new toy? It’s going to be hard not to smirk.

After all, I did suggest that the door be “redesigned.” Sadly, I wasn’t prepared for all the “rot”; you showed here. …And pulling out the center support? That was a bad idea.

And he assured me the center pole wasn’t load bearing.
Not load bearing. Then why was it there???

The reason the shed hasn’t collapsed is because there’s a good-luck horseshoe nailed on it. So you see, hubby isn’t just relying on defying logic — he has superstition on his side.

Maybe.
But it was put there by the original owners when they built the house and shed in the 70’s.
Surely it’s empty by now…
