Surveying it today, I think I’m good taking down walls and floors, structurally. There’s a serious quantity of that good stuff to get some $$ out of it. |

Get a chainsaw or sawsall and cut sections out studs and all. This is by far the fastest way to salvage. |
Keep us posted on your progress. I sell that kind of stuff frequently. Supplied a job in the Mountains with reclaimed Chestnut beams "chopped" up for for flooring. Dude paid a kings ransom for the stuff. We were estimating the timbers were over 200 years old.

Then you can sell the wood in full sections. You don’t have to take the wood off the studs just sell the whole section. 4x8. 8x8. Whatever size you can salvage. If I had to do another salvage this is the only way I would do it. Harvest sections.

Can you drill out the nails? maybe cut all the wood out you can and leave the framing. Hopefully it's just the ends of the boards.
|
It's nailed? Well, this is easy if you know someone with a really big MRI machine.

Find the right customer and wood out of an old barn is like finding a stash of gold. |

Ok I will give you my last secret. After you have sectioned out the peices you want get a 3/8 “ hole saw and drill around the nails. You can literally do a barn a day doing this and the holes give it character.

Ok I will give you one more. It’s been a while since we did this and my memory is not what it used to be. After sectioning the barn and taking away your peices cut half way through your corners then hook on with a chain or rope and pull them out til she comes down. That will give you the opportunity to harvest more lumber safely. Also it makes for a safer burn. Good luck.
