We will be reclaiming not only the valuable antique wood but also the unique hardware and antique barn tin from The Lake Of The Woods elevator. Located in Elva Manitoba Canada this grain elevator dates back to 1897 and sits beside a United Grain Growers elevator dating back to the 1920's. Both of these historical giants share the same destiny.

Enjoy watching your videos. I live outside of Regina SK and reclaim barns as a hobby. I am currently working on barn #6 and have a couple lined up for the spring. I work a full time job and tear down the barns on the weekends and similar to you guys i have been working in the -40 all winter as well with a hammer and pry bar. Keep up the hard word work.
