Tom too bad it has got to the point of being a danger if someone goes in. The stories it could probably tell. I would for safety reasons tear it down (SO SAD). Take down and plane all the boards and cut to make perfect wood. The wood from these old buildings is SUPERB!! and expensive. Can be used for all kinds of things. furniture, coffee table, kitchen table, wine rack, wall art, headboards, shelves, etc. The list is endless. Awesome photos. Keep it up friend. Thanks BE SAFE!!

Hi, Tom.
When I'm out in that environment, talking to folks, I get the impression that the demand for old bern wood is waning a bit. The economics are not with the scavenger to the extent that they used to be. If this place was a feasible target, I think they would have been all over it by now.
I myself, have two things made from old fence wood...a neat picnic table and a clever carousel, spinning thing that I put small items on out in my shop. A friend I have in the mountains made it for me. I told him he could sell those things all day long. He said he'd rather be hunting and fishing...can't fault that.
