And yes we strange Americans do move whole houses by truck, we hope to do that with a barn and relocate it to the Poor Farm.Donna OShaughnessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266654110280149719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-23008538400887985242014-07-19T17:03:42.449-05:002014-07-19T17:03:42.449-05:00Paint the fence the color that looks best on you. ...Paint the fence the color that looks best on you.
