The Packhouse built by Carl

Greg Noose

March 29, 2019

I just learned today in the Stillwater County News that Carl Steinberg passed away earlier this month. Condolences and kind thoughts to all of his family and loved ones.

Although life eventually took us to different locations, Carl was my friend in Columbus in the 1980's. I always respected him and enjoyed his company. Good humor, observant, quick to smile and laugh. You could trust Carl to do what he said that he would do.

His obituary states that the storage sheds that he built still dot the landscape in Stillwater County. Boy, that is sure true. You can see two of them on my place in Columbus near the corner of Diamond Street and Pike. My wife still keeps a small collection of her treasures in the small barn shaped shed. When we first bought our little place, this was the first shed on the property, and it held our initial construction materials. The big building, a 16' X 20', is what I have always called my Packhouse. It stores all my old outdoor gear many pleasurable memories. Carl was kind enough to incorporate an old door and window from a house we had to tear down.

Carl liked to say that to please the woman in the house, a new shed had to be pretty, not just well-built. He showed me how he had to slip around on the slick side of a roof sheathing board as he shingled just so the textured surface could face inside, and thereby look great. Carl also built the first search and rescue building in Stillwater County a garage on the site of the County Yards west of town.

What do I miss about Carl? Integrity and craftsmanship, and his ever-present interest and concern for people. I am glad to have known him. Greg Noose, former Stillwater County Sheriff.
