Several years back my Uncle Bill passed away and left my Aunt Lorraine with a massive amount of scrap metal, tires, and piles of wood to deal with. He was quite the collector of anything with potential value and his collection is spread throughout their family property.
This past Sunday, I was invited to come and pick up some odds and ends such as old doors and windows by the son of Uncle Bill, our Cousin Bill. He is quite the sales person and wisecracker and was making a play for me to remove tires, old glass windows, or anything he could get me to shove into my car. He thought I could teach a class in “How to Make a Tire Swing” or “Painting on Windows” or “Making a Cold Frame out of Old Windows”. He actually did some research the night before and came up with oodles of ideas. See my bounty below.

Well, I actually did have a very good time walking the property with my cousins and connecting some of the pieces to my childhood and things he used around the place such as the old cast iron bathtubs that he watered horses in.
My collection started to grow as I went from heap to heap. I wish you could see the look on my face, and then my cousin’s faces as I pulled these old chicken feeders from the pile.
