Finally Getting Started!




We have begun to build the first pedal car museum in Inman. I have been needing a place to store/display my 44 pedal cars. I also have tractors, boats, trikes, wagons, and small push toys that will also be on display.
In order to build this workshop/museum, we have torn down three different barns in order to recycle the lumber and minimize our costs. First we torn down a hog shed of Woody's to obtain the long 2x4s and some of the side boards.
When the hog barn was completed, we acquired a two-story barn outside of Inman that was in need of being torn down. This was quite the task but was accomplished within 7 days with the help of a strong work crew.
Just when we thought we were done, I heard of another barn that needed torn down that had tin on the roof. That was the major selling point for this barn. There was also a bonus of nice straight side boards that will make a perfect second story floor.
These barns are all torn down and the lumber is piled in different locations. Kinda like I have my own lumber yard! We even saved things that we didn't know if we would use in true Dziowgo fashion, like the milking headstall next to me! We also have a nice collection of old barn doors that will be a nice addition to the Dziowgo's Toybox.
