Also, just a thought.......
Is it feasible to reuse the barn wood to build a 'new' barn for your chickens, goats, etc. to your liking?

I would advertise on Craig's list, your local paper and buy /swap magazine. Also che check with local area contractors because reclaimed wood is the "in " thing. You probably will basically have to give it away if someone has to tear it down. If you tear it down then you can sell the boards, beams and maybe the good shingles. But you could be sitting on those for

I also have an old barn that I have been trying to sell.I was told it's an old engkish threshing barn built in the mid 1800s. Like you, I've tried craigs list but have had no luck. I love going inside and looking at it for it has the old hand hewn beams and wooden pegs for nails. Good Luck, I hope you find a buyer. |

You might try posting it as vintage wood. I have family that tore down an old barn and used the wood to make their kitchen island. We have used old wood to make cabinets, counters, or whatever else. If I had it my way we would only use old barn wood to build everthying inside. It turns out gorgeous when finished. There are people out there that would love to have the wood.

I see you live in Ohio, are there any Amish living near you? There was an old church by us and the Amish had been hired to take it down, they did a wonderful job. Just a thought.
