West KY Hwy 80 - Nancy - Pulaski County - Kentucky Saturday_17-June-2023 KY80W_Barn #M84.869421  - --- -  This barn needs a little help. North side of KY80 between Bradley's Pleasure Church and Flatwoods Road 37.131227°N 84.869421°W 357.5304 1,173'  I believe that is a Suzuki Samarai sitting there in the driveway; a few years ago, those things were prevalent around here with about 50% of the driving public owning one; they would convoy on weekends to various offroad trail places, as many as thirty or forty of them together --- all in Suzuki Samarais; now, they are as rare as hens teeth.

West KY Hwy 80 - Nancy - Pulaski County - Kentucky Saturday_17-June-2023 KY80W_Barn #M84.870643  This barn needs a little help. North side of KY80 between Bradley's Pleasure Church and Flatwoods Road 37.131234°N 84.870643°W 353.8728 m 1,161' A sharp eye will notice that the electrical service is still connected from the transformer to the weatherhead.  |

West KY Hwy 80 - Nancy - Pulaski County - Kentucky Saturday_17-June-2023 KY80W_Barn #M84.872146  - --- -  South side of KY80 between Bradley's Pleasure Church and Flatwoods Road This barn sits close against the highway. In it's day, this barn was always black as a Crow's wing with those bright white doors. Prior to the 1973 opening of The Cumberland Parkway, two miles South of here, this was THE way to travel. I can remember as a child there being big motel advertisement signs on both ends of this landmark barn; the sign on the West end advertising a motel in Somerset and the East end a motel in Russell County, Dreamland, if I remember correctly. If you look close, you can just make out where it said something on the long side of the barn facing the road. 37.129860°N 84.872146°W 353.568 m 1,160' The first three photos are taken from the East side looking West; the fourth photo, dated Wednesday_03-November-2021, is taken through the filthy glass of a fast-moving pickup from the West side looking East.  - --- -  In that fourth photo, you can see a TV antenna; there is a stretch through this area where you can get excellent analog TV reception; there is even an "antenna guy" working from his home out in the country who sells, installs, and services the antennas. Just a few miles in either direction and no matter the antenna nor how high the hill, you can't get anything.

West KY Hwy 80 - Nancy - Pulaski County - Kentucky Saturday_17-June-2023 KY80W_Barn #M84.873791  South side of KY80 between Bradley's Pleasure Church and Flatwoods Road Those overhead doors have been on that barn since I was a very small child. I was always told that the guy who owned Somerset Overhead Door owned that barn/farm. Such doors are impractical on a livestock barn; cattle would soon have them warped all out of shape. Note that this barn has underground electrical service which is highly unusual even for a house in Kentucky. 37.129052°N 84.873791°W 356.616 m 1,170'

The sad reality is if you're not using it, livestock, storage, whatever, they are just an expense. It costs real money to maintain buildings and if they are not paying back in some way, people just let them go. Humans are a lot like hydraulics! The path of least resistance. I've got some old buildings here that aren't in great shape but still have stuff stored in them. Need to figure something out as they will need to start coming down at some point.

Merchant Street - Columbia - Adair County - Kentucky Thursday_10-August-2023 The Big Blue Barn https://ibb.co/Z16fHxGC" rel="nofollow">  Standing just as plumb and square as the day she was built. This barn was wood boxed and then the wood covered with old-style corrugated metal barn roofing. Why on earth would somebody paint a barn blue ? The later additions don't improve upon the appearance; she would look better if all that were gone. I am sure this big barn has historical significance and I intend to find out. The huge Columbia City Cemetery is immediately behind the barn. Merchant Street and the Columbia Fire Department are in the foreground. Check out Satellite View at these coordinates: 37.104851° 85.305111° 230.7336 m 757' Check out Street View as well. https://ibb.co/ynTPg4N8" rel="nofollow">

Where I grew up, 90%-95% of farm buildings were painted either white or red. In our particular little neighborhood, there was one farm that all buildings were a grayish-blue, that farm as long as can remember, the owner did not raise any livestock, and rented out the cropland. ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |

Flatwoods Road - Nancy - Pulaski County - Kentucky Saturday_17-June-2023 East side of Flatwoods Road Three Silos on Flatwoods Road https://ibb.co/5g58zLt4" rel="nofollow">  A 120-ft-long feed barn is between the left-most and center silos. A drag-chain conveyor runs the length of the barn, distributing silage to an equally long trough on both sides of the conveyor. You can just see the roof of the barn that is attached to the right-most silo. https://ibb.co/ycCb02JM" rel="nofollow">
