Sorry typo there. Its a 30" beam, hand hewn. I have several friends that 
slavage old
houses and 
barns. Its of interest to people like that.
Some of the bricks on the summer kitchen(right side of photo)came from old 
churches in
Toronto that 
were torn down for new bulidings. The kitchen was bulit between 1940 and 1950. 
I have a
photo, not 
very good, of some bricks that had the dates writen on them from 1852 etc.

Oh and we had a ghost to. Apparently he's still there.

Lots of stories about him.:-)
