Growing up in rural Illinois we had oil heat until the mid 60s. I can remember the oil truck delivering oil, but I do not remember where the tank was.
It was a rural village. I can remember some of the other houses having outhouses and hand pumps for water in their kitchens. It was a different time. Dad used to hang a old bed sheet on the clothesline and use it to check the pattern on his 12 gauge before pheasant season. He tried to get me and my brother to hold it up for him, mom put a stop to that.
Needs a scale Township building inspector, with a LARGE violations file.
And an old, fat, bald-headed guy with a scattergun chasing his sorry ass off the property!
That's it! Gotta have a shotgun!
And a chalk outline on the ground where the inspector laid.... do not cross tape... etc.
Well... Just that any farmstead worth it's (rock) salt has a shotgun. 'Sides it'll be a great little project for Mr. Miniature. then have it or a couple leaning on the porch mebbie with a game bag and a pair of boots. then there's the rocking chairs.
I really like seeing your work, thanks for sharing DE.

Received and installed the yard light kit. Puts out a lot of light for an itty-bitty little thang. Diorama is pretty much done, the rest will be adding little details and scenes as they occur to me. Suggestions always welcome, serious or otherwise...
Nah,
too easy for the local cops to find.
And the smart cops will look under the manure pile, too.
A deep-plowed 40 acre field is better.
20" augered hole way deep for the inspector and all his kit.
Salt the field with a few dead pigs for the corpse-sniffing dogs to find.
Take the inspector's vehicle a long way off and torch it.
Can't believe it took me this long to think of this little detail...
Did ya give it a salute when you raised it?
You betcha!
I'm thinking I need to install a spotlight for it and take a night shot. That'll be my next project.

So what's the next project? I see you have a delivery of lumber waiting to be unloaded from the stake-rack truck!
I'm considering a full interior detail on the house. Second floor, walls, stairs, furniture...the works.
Not sure but it looks like the heating oil tank is sinking.
I'b be careful or the town might send out an inspector and raise your assessment and property tax! You did get the proper building permits right?
