Yes.

Watching the video I was thinking OSHA compliant.

That's really cool
I would ask farmers if they would let me take pictures of their barn contents,, but I think maybe some farmers don't want people to know what they have in their barns.

I helped set up the alarms for them as they are friends.most all sheds and barns look alike inside.

Great finds posted by all. I like all antiques, mechanical or not. For those lucky souls in or near Tennessee, you may know of this place

It has been many years since I was there, but it is one of my favorite places visited over my life.

Might be from a weather vain also. Friend of mine found old boxes of arrowheads in an old collapsed barn that the roof was on the ground
