I need advice.
We're going to tear down the barn at Nassau Deluxe and build a house there. The barn is in bad shape and the wood is not in demand. We'll end up getting a permit and burning it. But, the steel siding and roof are still in great shape. We put an add on Craigslist saying basically, "It's free if you remove it and take it away." We have somebody that wants it and says he'll take it.
I have my reservations about having some dude(s) climbing all over the barn. If somebody falls and dies, or breaks his neck, that's some liability. Should I insist they sign a liability waiver before I let them get to work?

Ask the agent that issued the policy for that property, and then I'd want to see it covered in the policy. But if there's no upside in it for you, there's no reason to take the risk then.

We have a not for profit that puts all the slow people to work busting apart plastic parts from molds, putting stamps on envelopes for businesses. All sorts of stuff. Gives them a purpose in life. One of the other things they do, and this is no shit. They tear barns down for the siding and beams and make shit out of the wood. They have these people with 23 for an IQ climbing all over these barns. No one has been killed yet. Lol

The upside is I get rid of the metal without doing it myself. Then, I can burn the place down and have less to haul away or bury.

Industries inc. was the place that took them out to take barns down and still do. Might have a bunch of handicapped people in a group home near by. For years we used to bring them nut jobs donuts and smokes on Sunday mornings until they kicked me out. I got along great with them but the director said I was encouraging bad behavior. Fucking bitch. |

Get the correct answer from your insurance rep. If I was worried I would try to hire him for a $1 and make him show proof of business insurance. This does not give you immunity. You would have to have a hold a harmless and in a lot of states they are not worth the paper they are written on. |

You don’t have any good barn wood?? Not enough, apparently, that anybody is interested in pulling it down for it. We found a guy that wants the siding. My wife's cousin is married to a gal. Her brother wants the tin. We're going to check with our insurance guy today to see what he says about the liability question. |

Holy shit. The offers are rolling in this morning. Lots of folks want it. We are going to let the offers roll in today and reply tonight to the most interesting.
Best one so far is a guy that says he’s a construction contractor with a business license, liability insurance, and a crew that’ll work until it’s done.

Seems amazing a business would come in and charge nothing.
