    New meaning to the phrase "Barn Raising" ... what would happen if Washington DC worked this way?

    Herman Ostry bought a piece of land with a barn near a creek in Bruno, Nebraska. A flood put 29" of water into the barn, and he wanted to move it to higher ground. One if his sons estimated the barn weighed 19,000 lbs (9 ½ tons). Figured it would take (344) people with each person lifting 55 lbs. to move barn. They made a grid of steel tubing with handles attached to the barn so each could lift.

    The town of Bruno, Nebraska planned this move as a part of their centennial July 29-31, 1988

    I want this farmer to be my next president and every person who participated to become the next Senate and Congress! They know how to recognize necessity, create a solution and get it accomplished ---all without having to be "paid" to complete difficult tasks! That is what America needs instead of greedy selfish politicians who rape the American people every day without any consequence. Get 'em on the ballot --- QUICK!

    Love your comment aerierridge!!! My dad and grandpa were two of the men who lifted this barn. Grandpa died the year after this video but my Dad is going to get a huge kick out of your comment.
