Bringin' down the barn





Barn before demolition-west end
When we acquired the property, the old 1920's haybarn was in such bad shape it could not be restored. We hired some Amish contractors to take it down in March 2012. They took it down in one day and the only tools they used were ropes and crowbars.

Demolition in March 2012:


Half down


Just the north wall left. Former hog farrowing shed remains.


Barn rubble and old straw ready for the bonfire

 
 
 
After the demolition, Mike pushed all the rubble into a pile with a skidloader and we had a large bonfire.
