    A Tumbleweeds View of Scrapping

    Many members chronicle their scraping adventures in one thread because they concentrate in one area. Since my scraping adventures change constantly, it was decided to have different posts for different projects. That way the story can be told in chapters. This thread will be dedicated to scraping farms and a farm restoration company.



    Tumbleweed is another nickname given to me because tumbleweeds are my biggest companion other than my two scraping partners (labs named Filly and Tater.) Therefore this thread will be through the eyes of tumbleweeds as they blow through the farms being scraped. It will include day to day challenges and life in the rural mid-west. Most information will be about scraping, but everyday life will highlighted. Geese migrations, black bird swarms, and deer in the rut are all fair game. Essentially you will get a picture of my office and all of my co workers.

    As usual the lessons learned will be shared and ideas, input, or advice would be greatly appreciated. If you have a story to share, please feel free to do so.

    Thank you for reading.
