[AT] Metal building - now non metal building :-)

[Indiana Robinson]

	I have been watching several hoop barns for several years to see how they 
held up. Does anyone here have one or know someone who does? 
	I no longer look for 100 year life spans...   :-)   Not only do I not 
expect to last another 100 years myself, I fear that this farm will be 
totally over-run or "taken" possibly as soon as 8 to 12 years. The new 
bypass which passes close and is being furiously built now is just one 
more approaching pressure. Since any of you folks have been here, like for 
Cubfest 2004, there have been another 3 to 4 hundred houses pop up between 
town and this farm. There are about 1400 more beyond the drawing board 
stage and I was not that far from the city limits as it was. This is the 
last of the "circle seven" (donut) counties around Indy to start rapid 
growth. It is now trying to catch up all at once. One of the other donut 
counties was listed about a year ago as the fastest growing county in the 
US. 
	It would be a real shame to put up an expensive building here and see it 
dozed down. My need is for machinery and hay storage. Too many old 
tractors sitting out.   :-)

I try to take one day at a time but sometimes several days attack
