A View From Here: Resettling Big Stone County Minnesota

Taking down the Quonset

I probably make life on the farm seem rather, well, pastoral. But it is a lot of hard work- mostly for Mike. He and Travis, a neighbor who just graduate from high school, took down our old crushed quonset in preparation for putting up a "new" one.

We really need a standing building to house our tractor, combine, and to have a workshop, potential grain storage and maybe even house some cattle if needed.

Through some of the hottest days of the year- with heat indexes over 100- these guys deconstructed an entire building- and left the ends standing. Now that is truly sweat equity.
