This is a picture of a Chicken coop in our Edgewood, WA back yard that is nearly 80 years old. Legend (from our neighbors) is that the original owners kicked out the chickens to live in this small shelter while they were building their house -during the depression.
This interesting tidbit of history is supported by county records that indicate this parcel of land was part of an old strawberry farm tract dating back to 1900. I have always loved houses, including the business of houses.
Update on Centralia: Salvation Army has the flooding situation well in hand. It turns out that disaster relief efforts work best when they are handled by the local folks and their friends (as apposed to state run agencies). This is according to Cap Ron who is Paster at the local Salvation Army Center. Other religious groups also helped out, and the combined effort made quite a difference.
