No! That's the point I was making. A few years ago there were many barns around free for the dismantling. But now, they're getting to be big business. Lots of places advertising to buy them, take them down, put them up somewhere else - often finished with insulation, heat, etc. and lived in - as a yuppie's playhouse or palace. Some come out quite nice. Personally, I like the hand hewn beams, mortise and tenon joints, and like the feel of the old weathered wood, and prefer to preserve their historic integrity when possible. I wouldn't buy one. Too much damn work and expense to take them down and put them back up. I own two barns now that date back to 1820. I'd love to move them to some other property I have in the Adirondacks, but it's not feasible for someone in my tax bracket. Back in the days before power-lines existed, it wasn't such a big deal. You could move them intact.
