Looks very shabby, doesn't it? The shingles on the old roof have blown oIT. The paper roof, caught in the wind, has rolled up. II leans out of’ plumb. The windows 'and -doors are. hanging on ouc hinge. It needs paints and needs it badly. .Did you ever think about tearing down this dilapidated old shed and reconstructing it in a neater little building, in good repair and painted? Perhaps the old shed has a loft for hay and a stall for a cow. made for the tiays when pastures were close and cow bran was cheap. Perhaps there is an old buggy shed for the surrey which has long since gone into disuse. Now they •,erve as a catch all for thiyg* you don't want and a happy home for rats. Tear it down or put it. in repair. Straighten up the alley fence.
