Brothers restore great-grandfather's 1965 shed

Oddly satisfying to watch.

I enjoyed that!

I would have scavenged the good stuff and torn it down.

Good on them for saving it. I grew up with buildings from the 1800's. They are gone now. But only for about 10 years, and could have been saved easily, two of the them were taken down for parts to use on other buildings on the east coast. Our old machine shed was simply smashed with an excavator by the new land owners.

I am always troubled when I think about that type of thing, a perfectly good building that needed almost nothing, that stood there for 140 years+, and in 3 hours it was smashed into splinters to haul away because it was in the wrong spot.
It is the owner's land to decide what to do with, no question. This is still America.
But I do think our culture has lost that sense of permanence, of things older then we are. In everything from how people hop around to 10 different jobs in their lives now to throw away culture to condemning a building because of a lack of desire to repair, even though it would cost unimaginable money to build it new in modern times. Maybe I grew up in an uncommon area where people understood all these tings and treated each other with respect, but it sure feels like the world has gotten selfish in the last 20 years. Never thought I would see the day some things would happen or people would do some things to each other in my neck of the woods like I see now.
