Watertown Tin

Part of Wedge Oak's vision is to repurpose previously used materials. An old dilapidated barn in Watertown, Tennessee offered us the tin we needed to repair the Corn Crib and other buildings that will shelter WOF's livestock for years to come. We pulled off the intact pieces and hauled them back to WOF - look at all that beautiful tin!

Rafters Up!

As was done over 100 years ago...we have the cedar logs cut, cleaned and installed. Next phase is lathing. After that - replace the missing tin.

The Corn Crib Restoration

We have started renovating one of the oldest structures on Wedge Oak Farm. The cedar log building pictured below was used to store grain after the harvest. While the logs are in good shape the roof was beginning to deteriorate. We have cut cedar from the farm to reconstruct the rafters as was done over a century ago.

Remember always—measure twice and cut once.

Then relocate the 1940s Manure Spreader.

Sometimes you have to 'measure twice' quickly...
Atlas can only hold that roof up for so long you know!

Check back for progress updates!
