Carr Farmhouse -- 100 Yr Barn Beams Delivered
This is ol' yeller, a 1995 Ford pickup that I bought when I moved to the Catskills in 2001. Of course, I'm the only guy in town who chose a 2 wheel drive truck that gets stuck on flat and graded slopes alike. 200,000 miles and still a workhorse. Note the Nascar yellow/black markings and duel gas tanks (although one leaks).
The salvaged barn beams come from an old farm I used to own in Bethel, NY, outside of Jeffersonville. The barn was 120 years old, and we took it done and saved the beams - which we now use in our houses.
