Barn to tear down

FastEddie | Posted in General Discussion on February 21, 2008 03:23am

Saw this in the Richmond craigslist.  I think I have seen this barn from the highway.  Looks like it would be best to just push it over.

This is an authenic old tobacco barn that can be moved and rebuilt on your site or demolished for the old weathered wood. Proof of insurance required. Call 804-743-3333 ext. 201 to leave message.

    Rez is in the demo business now so maybe he would be interested!  I think he has a house to do right now so if there in a hurry he might have to pass on this one.

      Wasn't he looking for a shed to store the house parts in though?

    Back in the 70's when barnwood was really big we tore a barn down. We had a problem boards brittle & breaking. Then we went back, not by chose, in the rain.!!!

    Boards just pulled off by hand, spongy, nails pulled right threw. Stack it flat to dry, just the ticket.
