I have now torn down and/or cleaned up two barns. A third is patiently waiting for me.
About 25 years ago, when the older son was still around, we tore down the little bank barn here. It was a miserably unhandy little barn, in rough shape. We pretty much did it by hand. We also pulled over the tile silo. The original wood framed and sided silo was long gone, but siding saved from it by my predecessor was still around.
Less than 5 years ago I bought a lot up the road where the large barn had already fallen in. We burned that. That was the easy part. Lots of junk had been stored in the barn, so sorting metal out of the ashes was the job. Then digging out and hauling away countless loads of rocks from the foundation was the rest of it. This barn was so rotten it hadn't been used in my lifetime.
The last one is a shame. It was a good barn, well set up. We used to fill it. The foundation has crumbled. The poorly constructed addition has fallen off, and the roof is going. There are some beautiful beams in this barn. I can't get anyone interested. So, if I last long enough, I'll be cleaning this one up!
