Pole Barn


This first picture is looking east from the FM office.  On the right is the Pole Barn.  No one I've talked to knows why it's called that.  It's big and has anything needed to fix golf carts, cars, trucks, snow blowers, etc.  Right now there is an amazing missionary/mechanic serving here along with his wife.  (They live in the apartment below us).  He can fix anything and keeps very busy in the Pole Barn.  Elder Poulson helps him every time he has free time.




The second picture is what we call the mechanics' garage.  It's where the paid male employees keep their tools, etc.  You can't see from the picture, but it has a walk-out basement with roll-up garage doors behind and beneath it.  One side has plumbing parts and every paint ever used anywhere in the Finger Lakes area of the Church, seriously.  The other side is where plants are started early in the spring to be transplanted to the little "replica" gardens at the Smith Farm and Whitmer Farm.



The last picture in this group is a building called the "Wind Tunnel".  Again, no one seems to know why.  Neither of us has been inside this building, yet.  It is only used in the summer during the Pageant.  About two dozen, young, pre-missionary men come to stay here during pageant.  They help with stage set-up and anything else the pageant director needs them to do.  I guess we'll know more about all of that by this time next year.
