At the Granary

This is the grain elevator.

At the Granary it stores all the grain. There is an elevator, there is a trapdoor that leads to the elevator too. Trap doors are over the basement so a wagon can come over the doors. Doors open on both sides so that a wagon can come threw drop off a load of grain or corn and go threw the other side. Kids work in the granary. They worked on the top floor pushing the grain to the side of the building.

This is the trap door in the floor.

Collecting Wool

Collecting the wool is an important job because if they don't the sheep could die. The sheep could die because of the summer heat gets too hot for them. The wool has a waxy feel because the sheep produce lanolin. They sheer the sheep in the spring so its not to hot or cold. In order to make money they have to spin the wool into thread and clothing then sell it.

 

Washing The Wool

This is while washing the wool.

This is the wool after it was washed.

Cleaning the wool at the granary is a very, very important job. The cleaning takes a long time because they wash the wool a lot. Washing the wool is a job that the kids do. It's very important that you wash it in cold water and that you use soap. You cannot wash it in warm or hot water because it will ruin the wool.
