Sorry to bust your chops but the ridge line of this roof dispells your claim of it falling down soon. No roof with a ridge that is as straight as this is in ANY risk of collapsing. It may be very aged but it is still structurally sound. When a ridge line starts to resemble a camel saddle will it appear as it is, falling down.
Don’t bet on that.

American history right there ,if only the barn could talk

The roof and the ridge seems sound, but the supporting structure as shown in PIC 3, if the picture portrays the actual angles, is compromised. Where as the gable appears to be plumb to the ground is it sitting on a structure that is leaning at an angle better than 15 degrees +. In the present condition I feel the wall structure will collapse and pancake, the roof may come down intact upon the pile. There is no way that I would enter such a structure, because of the possibility of a catastrophic failure.

Is that close to Brigham City? That looks like the mts. where I used to live.

You can see daylight through the roof. That means water leakage. Once that happens the structure rots and you lose the barn

#3 is the clear winner. Nicely done! Best angle to show the crazy leaning that precedes ultimate doom. I have seen many of these structures. Funny thing is that is can take years between that extreme angle and self-destruction.

Does not really look safe to work on it. Wrong move would make it collapse.
