HeadExam 1,783 #1 Posted March 16, 2015 The previous tenants had roofed the well house in 1975, they just put asphalt shingle right over wood shakes. It needed replaced 20 years ago when I got the place, but time and money did not allow it. The structure itself was built in 1964, just a pup compared to European buildings. Next I will tear off the old rotten wood siding and install Hardy board and a new door. After that I will remodel the the block shop, then the barn, of course it might be at least a year before I can get into either one of those projects. I hoping that by this time next year I will be employed and being accepted to graduate school. 2 nigel and Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slf-uk 914 #4 Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Agreed, very nice place and lots of open space. That looks like a Joey (aka King of Obsolete) type of trailer. Very useful. Iain Edited March 16, 2015 by slf-uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeadExam 1,783 #5 Posted March 16, 2015 The trailer is a 1 ton bed from a old 1970 Dodge truck that once belonged to the Corps of Engineers. The Corps of Engineers turned Oklahoma into a water wonderland by building over a dozen LARGE lakes in the eastern half of the state, one lake has 1,300 miles of shoreline. Our lake Oologah is three miles up the road it is more than 12 miles long and was built by damming the Verdigris river and impounding by stone bluffs on the sides. I use the trailer for odd jobs, the most important is to get gravel from the local quarry, I regularly put over 5,000 pounds of gravel in it for my driveway. Our place is 20 acres, mostly prairie, but a small pond a a couple of large oaks, the neighbors to the north and on both sides have over 1,000 acres and my friends on the North side of the the lake have over 10,000 acres, I think that's a little over 4,000 hectares, its 12 miles to the grocery, but we have a small convenience store a few miles away. Land here is generally around 5,000 and acre in large lots, but can run up to 20,000 dollars for acre lots with utilities. Lots of elbow room 2 Triumph66 and nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
