Demolition

We’re taking down an old and rotting barn; perhaps “garage” might be a better term. Blue metal siding, faded long ago, has not come easy; this I can confirm. The timbers, cut when measurements were real, provide a clue to estimates of age. The wood is likely oak, extremely rough; the cost in today’s terms is hard to gauge. Another building will replace this one; I’m not sure it will stand the test of time, but this one’s days are definitely done. I would replace it too, if it were mine. The metal roof came off, all rusted out; The joists and rafters, all that now remain. I’ll hit it hard tomorrow with no doubt the effort will be worth the aches and pains.
