I'm a little bit of a stickler on grammar, and I always say, "Say what you mean, and mean what you say". So, I've got to ask, what do they mean by first "cum"? If they are "a meanin, what they a sayin", I wonder where that fist has been? Joe.

Pretty sure that's exactly what they meant.

come tear down my dilapidated building and you can have the wood and tin. what a deal!!! thats like telling a plumber if you replace my leaking pipes you can keep the scrap pipe.

Barn wood & sheet metal tear down

My barn / corn crib is on the verge of falling down due to settling ground. I'm looking to have someone come in and remove the barn completely. There are a lot of very good pieces of wood that could be very valuable to the right person, as well as sheetmetal in good condition.


Please call or me for further info and or too take a look

yes the wife picked them out. the cabinet maker said he didn't do many with that type paint scheme as it was one of the more expensive one's. IIRC the green in the edging is put on and then hand rubbed into the seams before it dries.

My brother couldn't even get someone to take old barn boards and he tried offering to PAY even! Ended up cutting it all up and heating the house most of a winter.

I have seen old barns like that sell in the 10's of thousands of dollars. A lot of the old barns where actually built using chestnut, which lasts forever. Old chestnut lumber sells very well and for good money. I know of a few barns that where advertised free/you tear down and buyers come from everywhere. I know of one barn a guy tore down and was in the process of burning it. A fellow was driving by and saw it and saw what kind if wood it was and bought the whole pile. They where running around kicking and pulling boards out of the fire. Most people cant tell the difference between a old pine board and something like chestnut but those folks that buy it know.

Maybe the location matters (just like in real estate)?

I agree that's probably a factor. Down here they go for big money

My grandfather and great-grandfather (his FIL) bought a property and built an A-frame cabin on it. They got 100% of the lumber by tearing down an old barn about 40 miles away, and hauling it all up the mountain (both were truck drivers, and had access to bigger flatbeds). They named the camp The Old Barn, and even though my grandfather has modernized it in order to live in it, there is still a lot of exposed barn board.

I don't remember what they paid for the barn, but it was the late 60's / early 70's, so it probably wasn't much.

There was an ad this morning on one of the local fb help wanted sections , it was a company that reuses old farm buildings. They are looking for help asap.

Northern Maine. Old barns are as common as flies on a cows ass.

I've never seen a twin screw "P" bread van. Normally they are only 10-14k GVWR

I see ads here on the Facebook and CList for "junk" for a few $$.

"Used Swifter floor cleaner, pad holder is broken off, but can be fixed, $3."

Do people actually buy crap like that? I've got better things to do with my time than track down something that is $10 brand new for $3!
