What they accomplished, with the help of skilled craftsmen, has turned their outdated, dark kitchen into a bright, effic...
For many who have driven along US Highway 2 for years, the old weathered telegraph poles littering the landscape between the ditches and railroad tracks are nothing more than weathered reminders of the old telephone lines the railroad decided to have cut down years ago. During the years they lay on the earthen ground intertwined with weeds and prairie landscape causing the wood to crack and stress, a rustic reminder of how unforgiving the elements can truly be in this part of the country.
