Too wet for doing much today so I only messed around with that wheel and tidied around the barn a bit.

Found a bunch of truck panels that were integrated into the animal shack I'm demolishing. It had all kinds of stuff nailed to it, steel, wood, rubber mats, even cardboard.

Broke down the furniture inside for sauna fuel (a hay feeder and some kind of rack soaked with animal piss), then pulled some more disintegrating plastic bags from the ground and threw them into the recycling bin.

Some days not much progress, but every little bit helps.

Treasures from the scrapmetal sorting.

Some kind of spring-loaded trailer hook?

Two welded steel contraptions, they look like drawbars for something.

A heavy, low brazier stand and an incomplete potato digger (hey, I was going to make one of those!).

And the waste paper basket from room 410.

Opened up this animal shed for the first time, after digging away the soil (and metal bits) that was blocking the door.

Not much inside, luckily.

I'm slowly demolishing it as its in poor shape and I want another firewood store in its place.

Slow work as the thing was double walled with straw packed between as insulation. And a mummified pine marten.

Looks like the roof is also insulated. Good thing about straw: Much easier to recycle than slag wool! 😁
