Why? That was the only question I had as I uncovered the incredibly heavy electric train door that was being used as a roof brace in the goat house.

Other questions that came to mind shortly afterwards were:

Where the hell did he get this from?

How did he lift a 60-70kilo door up there?

And importantly:

What the hell am I going to do with it?

Obviously I am tempted to keep it and use it as a door for one of the outbuildings, but it is so heavy it will require serious engineering to mount it safely. Also I am aware that hanging onto things without a specific need for them is how the farm got in this mess in the first place.

My solution is to write a use by date on it. One year to be precise, so if I open the garage on the 1st of October next year and see this door labeled BEST BEFORE 30 SEP I know to throw it away like out of date milk.
