Tearing a barn down: What you need to know for tools, equipment, and the process

In this video I explain the tools I am using for my barn demo, the prices you should be expecting for tools/equipment and some of the theory on location, proximity, and access for your barn site. Some things to think about before you commit to a barn and what to look for as a reward for committing.

Are you keeping the wood or just getting rid of it? I ask because I'm trying to figure out if the tools you're mentioning are for more throw away types of uses or to salvage the wood for use later.

[@frankgrizzo]

They're for keeping the wood.

+Jeff Beecham He is going to be doing a lot of demolishing. There's just no getting around that unless you're trying to salvage ALL of the wood. Since time is almost always a factor you're going to be cutting down wall framing with the recipe saw and then prying off the wall boards and such for salvage.

its a bad idea to leave nails in wood if you are going to reuse the wood. You can destroy a brand new blade in 2 seconds if you fail to find a forgotten nail. You really should have a proper nail extractor that has a slider and beak system to grab nails even sans heads.

Where are you located and how do I find someone to take down a tobacco barn in KY? I'm at a loss for finding someone.

[@frankgrizzo]

Craigslist or the local newspaper. I found this barn putting an add in the local paper.
