Inside The Grainary.....

I failed to show the really interesting features of the building but will do that this weekend and add them to the blog. There are the original grain chutes, the lovely beams and old floors.

Here is what we look like inside though....




The brick wall was originally built for the wood burner we used to have to heat the place. It is an antique Round Oak stove which now sits in my living room. We still heat the shop with wood, however, it is an outside wood burner now.










If you look to the left where the wooden flag signs are hanging, you'll see that they are mounted on the original grain chutes. The grain was stored upstairs and you would fill your burlap bags by hanging them under the chute and pulling the wooden stop.





We've started painting and updating this year. Our wallpaper is old and outdated and it's time for a facelift.
Management is telling us we will be adding a small addition to the front part of the building this spring. This will be where the fiber will be moved to. We'll have more space for spinning and display! Can't wait!!!!
