Recycling the Baker's Barn,
Itself a Product of Recycling

Sometimes when you take something apart you learn things about its construction that you had not imagined. Such is the case with the barn on the property of Baker Farms that was destroyed by the wind storm on June 4th. As workers began stripping off the remaining sections of the barn, they discovered that the barn used many parts from older buildings. Below in the photo album you can see many of the old pieces of lumber and hardware that had obviously been originally cut for another building.
