I am working on some organizational renovations in my machinery shed. This area was home to a corn crib. We don’t use it anymore and haven’t for several years. I am planning to make this area a place where some of my horse drawn equipment can be stored easily. It is for pieces like my forecart that I use almost every day. I just think it will last longer and look better stored inside, rather than sitting in the driveway, when not in use.

I enlisted the help of my granddaughter to help with the sweeping and initial clean up. It cost me an apple and a dollar. She was willing to just do it, but a little money motivates the young mind for next time. I only pay for jobs well done and for hard work. She did a great job helping. She was proud of our efforts. It was her idea to have before and after photos!

Judging by her smile and the clean concrete, I’d say we have done okay so far. We still have more to do, but we are off to a great start. Organization and using what we already have, for a different purpose, makes economic sense. Having young people involved and helping is priceless.
