Pole barn dismantling project

The pole barn is 40X80. The tin on the end walls is in pretty good shape, over half of the back wall is in good shape, but most of the front and the roof tin is damaged. There are quite a few 2X6s and tongue and groove 2X8s, so hopefully the material will be worth our time. Tomorrow we should find out how easily the 2X6s will come off of the poles.

Trevor getting some tin off the back wall. Now that I'm in the old upper 40s, it sure is nice to have a teenager to help with this kind of work!
Tucker pitched right into the effort as well. He has great eyes, and was a great help in finding all the nails we dropped. I promised the owner we'd do our best not to leave any nails for tires or cows to consume!

It's a big project!
