You  fellas would have had a ball taking apart our old garage, too bad you
were  too far away.  Happily we found a man to take it down and he is  going
to rebuild it in another place.Good!  One jerk  wanted to take it down and 
pile
the lumber for US to burn and charge us  $1500.00.  This man took it down
for the having of it.  It was  clearly built of used materials from several
different eras and probably  different sources.  I'm quite sure that part of
it was the original  barn as it had whitewash on the back wall.  The beams
upstairs were  put together with those wooden pegs instead of nails.

The BIG find  though, for me, was my gggrandfather's wooden chest full of
his woodworking  tools, along with all the other woodworking tools in the
old chest of  drawers that he probably built himself, AND his thick  plank
workbench.  I still have those things.   Congratulations, that's wwwonderful.

PS:  Anyone know what happened to my favorite  woodworker, '"The
Woodwright," who used to be on PBS on Sunday morning?  Sounds good to me, but 
I never heard of him.  Only one I know is  Norm Abrams who seems able to hang 
around with whoever the host of the  decade is. He knows which side HIS bread 
is buttered  on.
