One option for our next home is at the wife's family farm in SD, near Milbank. One thing we are considering is tearing down the old, mostly useless barn, and building a pole shed house, that kind of looks like a barn. Renovating the thing is completely out of the question. There's a chance that a few of the beams are worth something to somebody. The barn is close to 100 years old.
Anyway - do any of you have a connection for barn demolition or disassembly? In a perfect world, a guy would show up and say, "We want a bunch of that wood so we'll take that, demolish the rest, and take it away for free." This is not a perfect world. I'm confident it'll be shit wood that nobody wants to I'll have to pay 100% to get rid of the place.
Anybody here know a guy or company they know and trust for this?

Ask the local fire department if they need practice.
Then ask if they want to know the date or not...

Any Amish or Mennonites in the area? The Amish couldn't cut it on the plains. Call northland shed and ask for Leona. They are in the Hutterite chamber in Milbank. If anyone in that community wants it, I'd think she could get you connected. Tell her I sent you. Them's good people. |

I don't care if it's smashed with machinery, meticulously disassembled, or burned to the ground. If we go this route, I'll just want it gone. If the price is right, I want it gone with zero effort on my end other than writing a check.  |

I would think you should make a few bucks from it. Old barn boards do have value.

I know our local volunteer fire department have burned structures for training. Just need to go in afterwards and bury the hardware. Might be worth a call to find out. If the fire department will do it I would put out an add to see if you could sell any of it; buyer pulls type of thing. Whatever is left gets torched.

If there are large beams I think some pull them out and use for similar taks or cut them into mantels for fireplaces, etc. Especially if there are any wooden pegs and if they have the hand-hewn look to them. There are companies around Brained and Bemidji that specialize in such lumber......but the names dont come to me offhand. Google is your friend.
