I have a little bit of a problem and am looking for a little help. I currently rent a place of about 2 acres close to my folks. They are getting up there in age so it is nice to be by them for the grandchildren. The place has a trailer on it that is pretty good shape and an old barn. The barn is the old “Amish” type that is very structurally good. It could use a new floor but years ago the previous owners sided it very nicely with steel. The barn does not leak and in my opinion looks good. What my problem is I now have an opportunity to buy the place for what I feel is quite a fair price. In fact I will be able to buy the place and be able to put some money back into it to modernize the exterior of the house and do a couple things to the barn right off the bat. But what my problem is that the property has within the last few years had a small subdivision put around it. In the P.U.D. for the sub division there is a provision that the barn and house need to come down. Originally the barn needed to come down because it was to close to the sub-div road but they have since relocated the road. There was a meeting at the local town hall last night to allow the barn to stay so I went with some neighbors hoping for the best. I had one neighbor in particular who is a contractor who for the last 8 to 10 months has been sick about the fact that the barn had to come down. A part of American heritage; structurally sound; are among some of the words that he has used over the months. Then we get at the meeting and a whole different story comes out. Decrepit old barn; and safety hazard are the types of words now. I know this is getting long and I have lots more to say but my main thing I need now is help. Does anyone have a direction I can go now to save this old barn? Oh yea after the meeting he came up to me and apologized and said it was nothing personal, he was just looking out for his investment. I told him I understood where he was coming from. I also told him that I would have felt no different about him if he would have been telling me he felt this way from the beginning. But I also told him that I come from generations of say what you mean and mean what you say so if you are going to double talk then go home and do it with you wife.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
