The old scaling shack

Years ago logs were "scaled" before they went to the mill.
The log truck drivers would pull into the scaling shack outside of town and the men there would measure the length and biggest end (butt) of the logs and calculate how many board feet were in the load. That's how many loggers were paid, by scale. Now days the mills have computers that do that for them.
Before the end of that era though, the scalers built a new shack and this one was left to the property owner they rented their site from. He told my husband he could have it if he wanted it. Well.....long story short now, we hauled it home on a borrowed flat bed truck and set it up in our yard for him to use for a "shop" to hold his tools. Many years later and a new 40x70 foot shop with concrete floor and attic, this little 8x12 rotting wooden structure still sits where it was planted.
Now overgrown with moss, and this week icicles, I decided it needed to be my blip today.
