   Wooden Wheel Wagons And A Barn With No Nails “My brother’s and their friends would build wooden wheel wagons out of scrap pieces of lumber and poplar trees. They would saw down a tree if it was perfectly round and suitable for wheels. They pulled nails out of daddy’s old barn to put it to- gether with. To this day I wonder how the barn stood all those years with so few nails. Whenever we needed a nail, we just pulled it out of the barn. Anyway we would take the wagon to the top of the mountain in front of our house and ride it down.” “It was very scary at times, but we loved it anyway.”
