Regarding barns being red: Long ago farmers would seal their wood barns with Linseed oil, they would mix in Iron Oxide to prevent mold and rot, this why all those old old barns are still red as they rot into the earth.

Our barn on our farm was red when I was a kid, then I painted it white, I wished later that I would have left it red.

The house was white because they would whitewash it and use the "expensive" stuff to protect their money maker, aka the barn.

@brianbuswell6112 2 года назад

I was part of the drilling and blasting crew working at the Comstock mine when they started to open pit it . We would drill into old tunnels and after we would blast the loader would dig out old mine cars. I think they got 3 or 4 cars the 2 years we had the contract before they decided to go underground.

@johnramirez5032 2 года назад

Wow....great wood. I guessed a planer since it was a wood shop

@davidsellars646 2 года назад

It is my understanding that, by the time the tunnel reached the mines, the workings were well below the tunnel so that it was of less value for drainage. The "bank crowd" that controlled many of the mines frowned on the tunnel as it competed with their Virginia and Truckee Railroad and the mills they owned on the Comstock and along the Carson River. The planer is actually a moulder or matcher as it did the edges as well as the top. Probably, the side cutters could do profiles such as tongue and groove or shiplap. Very informative video. How hot was the water coming from the tunnel?

@Askjeffwilliams 2 года назад

you are correct David
