This barn no longer had a use in modern ag, we have had several people look at it for the lumber and beams and all passed on it. We needed it gone for several reasons, feedlot expansion which you seen beside old barn, tax burden, and insurance would not let us put coverage on it so it was becoming a liability hazard. We did save a few beams out of it for new shop/office decor.
Chris is a smart farmer who put pencil to paper adding up the costs of keeping an old barn he can't use for modern-day farming. The taxes alone justify the demo. He tried to sell it with no takers so he did what was in his farms best interest. And hired the right guy for the job
That was one epic agrarian conflagration. Thank goodness you had Cap’n K on speed dial! We are so used to seeing houses and buildings with 8’ or better walls.. we really notice low ceilings. In an old barn like that... the livestock needed shelter. The equipment they pulled needed storage. None of it was over 6’ tall. The important thing was storing enough hay to make it through the winter. Hence a loft. Now, why would it take so much room for haying 8 cows, their calves, a few sheep, a couple of goats and the three or four horses that they had? Two things... 1. the hay was loose. There were no balers. 2. The hay had low protein/nutrient values. Hybrid seed was expensive and rarely used on small farms. In its day... that barn was the pride of the neighborhood. Thanks for putting it down gracefully!
Yessir, liability, liability, liability..., that is the only thing that needs to be said. Chris is on the right path here, it is probably best that he did not allow a salvage crew on the property without hard paper proof of their liability insurance, and even then his homeowners insurance probably wouldn't knowingly allow it to take place. I too have a great appreciation for these old barns, but this one, as was already mentioned, has served its purpose... Clear all the foot traffic out to a 200ft radius, and let the demo begin... Great video Mike, pay no mind to the trolls behind the curtain. Thank you sir.
Awesome work!!!!! That old barn was gonna collapse in the next 10 years. I’m glad you helped that farmer with demolishing that barn because demolition is a very difficult task. Burning it on the spot was a perfect idea! There was an enormous amount of lumber so you definitely saved about 100 trips with and blowing through all of that fuel to do it. All of that old straw and dried out wood certainly went up quick! Work smarter, not harder. Awesome video!
There isn't many of us left in this country that has been around milking by hand and the milk man picking up the milk in cans and putting up loose hay in the barn with horses. When we put hay up around our area in Minnesota back in the day it wasn't each farm did their own but the neighbors all helped one another and that was our social media. The women all got together and cooked and the men would all get the hay put up. We actually knew what our neighbors looked like. Now you just know what kind of car they drive when they go by.
Farmer Chris Grandpa died in 51 and my uncle bought a couple surge milkers was when they quit milking by hand. Was 4 years before I was born. In the sixties the barn burnt and we keep some cows and milked by hand 2 at a time in a little shed until we got a small barn built. I was glad when we broke out the surge milkers again after that. Although we had two neighbors that milked by hand until they I guess what you call retired around 75 or so that milked by hand. One had around 18 and the other would milk up to 30 cows. Both it was a family affair, no matter what the weather or how sick or tired you were they milked.
Shawn Jerome We never got in trouble because we worked and usually were to tired to cause problems. We did get into trouble horse playing on the farm like riding the calves or throwing feed on one another but it was a family law we broke not state or federal one. And it would have never crossed out minds to protest and loot and burn someone else's stuff. If our pee brain would have ever even entertain that thought our heads and rears would have been hurting for a week or so.
@@farmerchris1 I grew up on a dairy farm... milked by hand until we got 12 cows. Then we put in Surge Miller’s... I was 12yr old. Those filters you picked up went in the bottom of a strainer funnel. They are sized to fit the inside of a milk can. When Mike said that he thought they milked 8 cows for their own use...I almost fell out of my chair. That would be 16-20 gallons a milking from a Jersey farm and double that from Holsteins... back then. Far more from today’s breeds. I actually used a hay lift and trolley, like that one, to fill the loft.. every summer for 6 years! It seems like a different world now!!!
Well done! Don't think most people realize how dangerous doing something like that can be... Most job site injuries I have seen have come from Demo... Got a lil nervous when the big roof started to fall!
Wow those beams here in UK would be worth an absolute fortune, I understand there’s quite a market for antique wood beams. As it goes they don’t make em like that anymore well not in UK. Great video as always.
Hello there. A lot of our old barn's are not practical. So we are not so bad in that ours are built with stone. So people convert them into Houses. So they finish up with a extra house for there son's. Some are fantastic, they leave all the old beams exposed on the inside. I have worked on a few of them myself. Henry Wilson from Clitheroe Lancashire England. Say Hi to the farmer for me, it's so interesting to hear about that little bit of History.
Hate to see history go away like that but from Chris's standpoint it is understandable. He has to look at it from a business standpoint and do what is best for the farm. That is what I would call a barn smashing good time...
This is one of those videos you can tell a lot of people didn't pay any attention to when you and Chris were talking at the start. If no one shows up to buy the beams or wood, its worthless, so just get rid of it. The old barn held up pretty well considering the age and a tornado. I had half expected it to collapse with one or two good shoves. I think by now the super stick has paid for its purchase and modification.
Watching this video reminded me of a time back in the '70s when a guy I knew took over a grass seed farm in Oregon after his father died suddenly. The state just had prohibited burning off the fields claiming the need to protect air quality. So the young guy decided to burn the fields at night so that no one would see what he was up to. The neighbors called the fire department, thinking that the farm buildings were burning. A pumper truck got stuck in the field and was damaged by the fire. Tough lesson for the the young guy to learn. #captainkleeman
Mike thank you so much . Tell farmer Chris thank you very much as well. It is so great to see the real America. We get the usual diet of the extremes of America in both properties and people. This is what makes America tick. I find this extremely interesting. This shows the hardwork and ingenuity of the past and it’s good to have a record of these things. Chris can show his grandchildren what was there and what it looked like and this links the generations. Good work.
I remember when we shortened a barn, this should have been in the summer of 1970. The whole barn was sawn off, except the ridge. When they sawed off the log that was in the ridge, the barn collapsed like a house of cards.
a bunch of us went after barnwood several years ago. We would hang one or two forcite stumping powder sticks in the rough geographical center of the old barn and set them off. it would "bump"all the wood and either blow it clean off or loosen it enough to pull it free .No hammer marks or pry bar marks.
At 72, I am not old! As a teenager I milked cows by hand. We did not have electricity and churned cream and made butter to sell as well as sold milk in glass gallon jars and sold eggs too. We raised a few hogs and cows. The beef cows were sold to pay land taxes not to eat.
Dam your old Aaron I always thought I was older than you, you sure look young for being a hundred years old ! Much love to you all and to your family's ! Lol !
@@aaronbummmanbehindthescene4931 I think even you would bump your head there. And this is coming from the guy that was on your side sticking up for you when the skunk sprayed Mr. Millennial when he leaped over the 8’ wall holding a GoPro.
Back in mid 70's we got the experience of a lifetime , we went to visit our great grandparents in oklahoma they lived in a single wide trailer on a hog farm I think he worked at the hog farm , I can still smell the experience 🤣
This may have been mentioned already, but I'm not scrolling through 400+ comments to see. There is a documentary type video of an Amish (I believe) family. It shows the whole hay process. From cutting to stacking in the barn. All with mules. It's fairly detailed on how the rope and fork works for stacking in the barn.
All that old barn wood, my wife is going nuts right now thinking about her arts & crafts she could have made with all that! I wonder if the whole community came there to help build that barn like they do with the Amish. I have relatives in PA that are Quakers and they do that.
Nice video Mike. Always cool to see other odd jobs like this. The very end answered my question about scrapping the tin from the roof, seemed to be quite a bit, figured it’d be worth something.
This reminds me of the dairy barn where I grew up on our family farm back in the 1940's. That barn also had manually operated hay forks on a pulley system. We kept fixing that barn until we also had to take it down... sad to see it go.
The super stick worked fine for that barn!!!!!!!! In Mass you would have to get a permit, have a detail fire truck on site as long as the fire was burning!
Having lived and worked on a dairy farm, cow manure can change the floor height significantly in a few years! Ive used the milk filters, OBTW. Have to confess to being a little teary eyed thinking about how and when the barn was constructed and used. Oh the tales it could tell. If you could have sent me a couple of sections of the beams, I could have made you and Farmer Chris a bowl. Thanks for sharing, I think.
Tornadoes in 1974 devastated the timber on our farm. It was set by the CCC in the thirties. The adjoining farm lost barns, silos, and houses. Charleston,TN
That super stick extension worked well allowing you to be sat off an extra distance from the bucket and barn debris making it safer for you and your machine.
A pyromaniacs dream come true..... 😁 As you both mentioned at the start of the video, it is a shame she came to the end of her useful life, it is safe to say it was structurally unsound. Pleased you save a few decent pieces and the hay fork saved. Super stick did the job well and kept you out the way of trouble Mike !! 💪😎
Our barn which was close to this size unexpectedly blew down last year, I decided to make lemonade out of lemons and am in the process of putting it through our outdoor woodstove for winter heat. I think I'll get at least 2 and maybe three yrs very easy working heat out of it.
I just started watching Dirt Perfect a couple days ago. Really nicely done video! I always love flying drone clips that help tell the story. You showed what it was like before demolition, had Farmer Chris give a lot of its history and why it had to come down. There are barn dismantlers up my way, but the distance to transport even just pieces of it is prohibitively costly. I suppose FC could have made a bit more $$ salvaging the big beams from the knocked down building, but that probably wasn't cost effective either.
My dad used to talk about milking cows by hand, said you had to be careful who you shook hands with. Some old boy that milked by hand his whole life would have a bear trap grip and unknowing but a hurt on you. Thanks for sharing.
My dad had to milk cows when he was young. He said the worst part was winter. The cow's crap and piss would freeze into a ball on the end of its tail. You would be sitting on a small stool doing the milking. The cow would swing that tail back and forth into your face.
In my area we a barn from the 1890's and it is being used as commercial building for feed. Cool buildings but when it is time to go it is to time to go. I realized that burning the barn would have need the fire department on site because it would burn hot because of the hay, the tree would be singed. :)
Believe connecting the posts to the beams were wooden pins. If true wish you would have pointed that out. Shame the bldg was next to worthless but would not deny it. Bldg probably should have gone away in '74! The good news, it was here for you to remove with great video, thanks.
That old barn looks like it's straight outta the old Sitcom Green Acres. I can see Mr. Haney driving up in his jelopy truck and trying to sell them some piece of junk homemade backhoe to help tear it down.
This barn no longer had a use in modern ag, we have had several people look at it for the lumber and beams and all passed on it. We needed it gone for several reasons, feedlot expansion which you seen beside old barn, tax burden, and insurance would not let us put coverage on it so it was becoming a liability hazard. We did save a few beams out of it for new shop/office decor.
Its almost like you and Mike didn't spend a couple minutes talking about it at the beginning of the video.
If i did not see your face i would swear by the voice you were my Cousin Jerry Cline From Corydon
Just curios, why don't you just burn the barn down then clean up whatever is left?
27:00 Now it makes sense, controlled burn a little bit at a time...
That's too bad, 5 to 10 years ago reclaimed rough sawn lumber was big money.
Time for smores. Thanks Mike and Farmer Chris. God Bless.
Chris is a smart farmer who put pencil to paper adding up the costs of keeping an old barn he can't use for modern-day farming. The taxes alone justify the demo. He tried to sell it with no takers so he did what was in his farms best interest. And hired the right guy for the job

How many times can i like this!
There is nothing like watching Dirt Perfect in the morning with a cup of coffee.
Thanks guys

How did I miss this, but it's cool going back in time.
Thanks
That old barn was sturdier than she looked. I was shocked it took that many supersmacks before she fell. Great vidja and fire. Cheers DP!
Yes it was
Wow those beams here in UK would be worth an absolute fortune, I understand there’s quite a market for antique wood beams. As it goes they don’t make em like that anymore well not in UK. Great video as always.
A barn burning party for sure! Glad no one got hurt.

I done prepares on a barn like that last summer. That's the way I grew up. We still have ours.
I’ve seen enough Barnwood Builders to know there wasn’t much worth saving in that barn. Came down like matchwood. Good job!
Sad to see, but I understand your situation Chris.
Sat here watching super stick in action drinking a pepsi what more could you ask for?? Thanks Mr dp for the entertainment and farmer chris 👍
Hate to see history go away like that but from Chris's standpoint it is understandable. He has to look at it from a business standpoint and do what is best for the farm. That is what I would call a barn smashing good time...
That super stick was cool to watch and the fire was big 😀
Thanks
I was hoping Farmer Chris would take the first swing with the Super Stick. Seems like he earned the honor.
Kleeman didnt have to come rescue you guys from the fire! I'm impressed!
I sir
Beautiful old barn, and all the wood it took to build.
This is one of those videos you can tell a lot of people didn't pay any attention to when you and Chris were talking at the start. If no one shows up to buy the beams or wood, its worthless, so just get rid of it.

I remember that exact milk filter, grew up on my grandfathers dairy farm 40 head in the middle 50’s and 60’s .

Thanks Greg
Hogs were our garbage disposals. We milked six cows. It was our milk money. It covered daily expenses. The crops were for annual expenses and profits.
Great job DP !
Thanks
Boy, you had fun on this one 😁
the barn could tell some stories like the super stick first time seeing it in action
That sure looks like fun !!
Better than one of LetsDigs fires, with no Karens calling the fire department.
Lol
Well you said The Barn at outlived its lifetime and it's usefulness but it sure wasn't as ready to fall down as you would have thought.
I enjoyed the video. The thought process and execution. I like it when a plan comes together.
Thanks
Hi Mike, I really enjoyed your last video, It was a shame some of the wood couldn't be saved.
Thanks
That looked like so much fun to take down and you saved the old hay hook too !
Love the drone shots at the end!
Thanks
Back in mid 70's we got the experience of a lifetime , we went to visit our great grandparents in oklahoma they lived in a single wide trailer on a hog farm I think he worked at the hog farm , I can still smell the experience 🤣
Awesome Job!!
Great history lesson, times have changed. They knew how to do it back in the day!!👍🇺🇸
Nice video. Really enjoyed it. Take care, ASH
Thanks Alan
That was a good one. Thanks
Thanks
Great job Mike, Hate to see the old barns go but, safe hazard. Surprised no one wanted the wood!!!
insurance is the killer see fred dibnah take down factory chimneys youll understand.
I'm still carrying down buildings satisfying
Good job👍
I am amazed @18:30 in the video that the barn is still stading. Shows how well build they where.
I kept expecting to see Man Behind the Scene pop up with a camera at the last minute.
And a comment about how he would have done it so much better.
WOW looks great
Lots of history in that old barn glad it came down safely good job
Thanks
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
This may have been mentioned already, but I'm not scrolling through 400+ comments to see. There is a documentary type video of an Amish (I believe) family. It shows the whole hay process. From cutting to stacking in the barn. All with mules. It's fairly detailed on how the rope and fork works for stacking in the barn.
There in one link somebody posted
All that old barn wood, my wife is going nuts right now thinking about her arts & crafts she could have made with all that!
I wonder if the whole community came there to help build that barn like they do with the Amish. I have relatives in PA that are Quakers and they do that.
Nice video Mike. Always cool to see other odd jobs like this. The very end answered my question about scrapping the tin from the roof, seemed to be quite a bit, figured it’d be worth something.

it was its time to go.. but boy.. .that was still a tough building.. they built them strong back then
Wow, very well done!
Thanks
Awesome video Mike
Thanks
that's an adventure playground
I hope you took all the pictures and video you can from every angle. the kids will someday want to remember.
This reminds me of the dairy barn where I grew up on our family farm back in the 1940's. That barn also had manually operated hay forks on a pulley system. We kept fixing that barn until we also had to take it down... sad to see it go.
I love that super stick. You don't use it a lot but it's worth every penny you spent getting and making it
Great job 👍👌
thanks
The super stick worked fine for that barn!!!!!!!! In Mass you would have to get a permit, have a detail fire truck on site as long as the fire was burning!
Chris is on the fire department and we did call them
Good job, hate to see an old barn go, but that one had out lived it usefulness.
Yup same here

that had to be a hell of a barn in it day, somebody family had to be proud of it.
Yup I agree
Sure made for great viewing bro, be interesting to see how the stik goes on the 210 if ever needed. Safe travels
What a great old barn. That was a good video and nice job keeping it contained. Stay safe
Thanks
Hey Mike could feel the heat here in Central Scotland. Awesome vidja again. Super stick and a super operator. Keep up the great work.
Thanks and yes it was hot
That was awesome guys. Only thing missin was the Captain standing there with his garden hose.
