Post by: multifasited on February 22, 2013, 07:29:02 am: Just a side note,The reason for the OPEN lattice ,up north was in the winter,
when these were built ,horse drawn slieghs and work sleds were the winter vehichle ,and if sides were closed they had to shovel snow into them to use ,but open lattice , snow was automatically blown in ,so they were useable with out any attention ,The boys back the were pretty smart !!
