Seeing the barn hanging by a toothpick had to be freaky! No walking on that floor for me please!<br /> And when I read "the cement guy thought the stone dust was a great place to wash leftover cement into" I totally cringed!! I've been pulling out cement chunks from my property for years! I could just shoot the person who came up with that great idea. Grrrrr!
