And making sure the barn is structurally sound after a certain point. Picture all of the walls off but the weight of the roof still there in a strong kansas wind. It’s not a bad idea to ask yourself..... “self” what do I really want to repurpose and what am I ok with burning. Get your good stuff and add diesel to the rest and let it burn. Don’t forget to call the fire dept.

I started today on a wall of 10”x2”x20’ boards, and an 8 pound sledge didn’t do jack. It seriously feels like that shit is welded.
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.
