I hate to see the old barns torn down. Part of what I do as a general contractor is restore old barns. Mostly they are destroyed by owners not keeping good roofs on them, they eventually collapse. If you could even find the skilled labor today to build the stone and timber-framed barns common to my area it would cost a fortune to do so.
Many of the barns in my area are built with chestnut timbers, very valuable.
Eh...wot?

I met a guy in the military who had been making a living buying and selling vertical barn wood. He said vertical barn wood weathered better than horizontal barn wood.
Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.
