"Power Pole" Barn
Ron Pfeiffer, Shelbyville, Ill., found a good use for discarded electric power poles and pressure water heaters. He used the poles to build the frame on his cattle shed.
    Electric co-ops often have an excess of used power poles and are happy to have someone take them off their hands. The treated poles are known for their strength and longevity.
    The Pfeiffers used steel gates to reinforce the shed's sheet metal exterior walls. Without the gates, cattle bumping into the walls would push them out in no time.
