It's amazing to me how they'll push the use of these old buildings to the absolute max. I wouldn't get near some of these things and, yet, I'll see folks going in and out on a regular basis.
This one probably also housed people

I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

Those places look downright awesome to visit, much less photograph!
I like the optimism of the braces in #3... You know, you could fix the shack in #2 with the skew tool in PS
You know, Cristóbal, those mountain men must think that they're indestructible. I've seen them continue to use old barns that are far worse off than these. Amazing.
See you,

I hear you, Josh. I think we all have to deal with the sky issue at times. Sometimes, nothing we can do seems to help.
Take care,
Tom
You know, Eric, I kind of suspected it was you who unleashed the hounds on me. I was just waiting to compile more evidence. But then, of course, nothing beats a confession.:D
To date, I've accumulated images of over 300 different old farm buildings. It's taken me quite a while ( years ) to do that and I've covered quite a lot of territory in my quest. I guess getting chased by dogs twice is a small price to pay....considering the delicate position I put myself into on a number of occasions.
Take care, buddy,
Tom
Hi Don,
Thanks for looking in. This group of old buildings was spread out in Northeast TN / Northwest NC. When you're on the extreme back-roads I like to travel....calling them a real road is a real stretch sometimes, often they're nothing more than gravel trails requiring 4-wheel drive....and you're near the State line, it's often not clear just what State you're actually in.

I have to agree, David, that there's something mesmerizing about that last building. From some distance away from it, I was compelled to get closer. There's no telling what stories that old place holds secret. It's finds like this one that keep me trudging through the mountains.
Take care my friend,
Tom
The last image of the house; it's interesting to note that they purposely chose to build it into that little hillside. This was certainly not by chance, as they could have saved a lot of labor and concrete by simply locating it out a bit further. My guess is that they used the "in ground" portion for a kind of food cellar and also to help keep the house cool.
Yo brother,
I think you're absolutely right about why they built that house into the hill. A lot of folks wouldn't have picked up on that. As a wily old Texan, not much gets by you.
Now, I know you've got a picture or two that you can throw our way. Starving us of your talents just ain't right.

Hey Mary,
You see quite a few of these old buildings propped up. I've even seen one with an old truck backed up against the side in an effort to stall the inevitable. Like you, I wouldn't go in a lot of them on a bet.
See you,
Tom
