The generator shed.

The dog house (a one car-sized garage used as the house for the dogs. Heated and Air Conditioned).

The old chicken house.

The north chicken house.

The chicken house/milk house (was the dairy's milk house but now the chicken house for layers. Also the pump house for the stock tanks and garden water).

The hog houses (two side by side).

The garage/car shed.

The house.

There is also the foundation from the big barn that blew down. I wanted to push it all in, but instead it got filled with dirt and turned into a flower garden. You win some, you loose some.
