Fixer upper or Leave it be?

I would build stalls to keep the hogs off the wall. Once i brace everything, we could jack it up and slide a trailer under it. If we can get it home in one piece, i would be happy, but i dont know. It is hard to pass up, it is perfect for what i need.

No harm in trying.

I guess if it falls apart trying to load or unload it, you'll still have all the wood! I will think good thoughts for the "on the road" portion of your trip.

Good luck!

Oh wow thats cheap. How did you get that down the road without taking down lines? How did you go about moving it? Thanks

We didnt have to worrie about lines because the place was about 5 miles from our house so it was a stright shot, It was around 80 years old still in pretty good shape just replaced a few things on the outside and put a new roof on it. It was a dirt floor so i put jacks under it jacked it up a little then cut the 4 corner posts off with a chain saw and jacked it up the rest of the way and put it on a low flat bed.
sounds easy but it was a job! I'd go for it. If you put it on jacks if you can try to slide a long 4x4 or something to that nature so you can put the 4x4 and it gives it a little more to rest on and makes it a little easyer to get on and off. I could post a picture on the barn moved and set on bricks if you would like me to. Anymore questions just ask

 

[brooster]

yeah, can you show me a picture? Thanks!
