old dead things Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I posted this once before a year or so ago, then mistakingly deleted all the pictures. But now that I finally got my wood stove in, it looks a lot better. I enclosed a horse barn, put ten ton of gravel on the floor, then insulated the walls (still need to do the ceiling) and even put in an intercom so the wife can call me to supper.

emmytee Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 wow! sweet shack! from the first pick it looks like fossils are literally pouring out of your barn! hahaha I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day. ~ E. B. White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefootgirl Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Looks like heaven to me! Enjoy my friend.

Sundancer73 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Nice job! I'd love something like that here on my property. ~Mike All your fossils are belong to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 That's a great looking shop! Its nice to have a separate place to work and not have to worry about making a mess. I'm envious. I've been to the Tate Museum in Casper and seen them working on the mosasur you donated. I will be interested to see how it finally preps out. It was very generous of you to part with it. I understand its in a really hard matrix and extremely hard to prep. I would like to see a picture when its all done. You should post it on your page. Thanks again, - from a Tate Museum supporter!

CreekCrawler Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Very nice view! I think I see a 4x4 Muley about 300 yds out!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old dead things Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 Thank you for all the great comments. The antlers were mentioned several times, yes we have a lot of mule deer and I put up a picture of that 4-point at the feeder. I also sell antlers and skulls. In the first picture in the original post, the white rock outside the barn I refer to as my mistakes prepping fish..........really though that is where I cut the fish. The fossil barn was four years getting it to this point.......I'm retired, so I have plenty of time to piddle around. The fish preparation takes place in the fossil garage and I'll post pictures of that at another time. Picture 1- one of the little bucks that hang around Pictures 2, 3 a couple of shots from the barn Jim Old Dead Things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
