The old barn resists coming down. Will it ever succumb?

The original barn on this place was built in 1910. It finally gave in to some strong tugging in July of 2019. A good part of the barn was recycled lumber from a warehouse in a now mostly gone neighboring town. The entire time of pulling, moving, pulling again, pushing with a dozer, etc lasted a couple of hours. When it finally did come down it came down quickly at about the 3:40 mark of this video.

This was as good as watching the yard cleanup channels. The little tractor that could.

Should have called the Barnwood Builders. Johnny Jet and his machine would do it lol.

I spent a lot of time looking for someone to take it down for the wood, I would say about 100 hours all told. Best anyone could do was to take a good part of the steel roofing, which they did. All the barn wood guys wanted beams that had axe marks on them.
