removing a barn

(Lowell Michigan)

What can be done with an old barn that has already come down? Our homeowners are going to cancel our policy due to a new state law and we need it removed as soon as possible.

Answer:

Post your barn on our barns to salvage page located on the left hand menu bar.

We have many subscribers who are looking for old barn wood to salvage, so you should be rid of the material very quickly.

 Getting rid of old barn
by: Phyllis Leonard

I live in Essex County, Massachusetts and have an old barn that
I want to get rid of. It would be difficult to remove whole because
of the electrical wire on the street in front of my house. It has some decent wood and a cupola. The weather vane is not too valuable.
