Nice topic stimulation, Sir James. I have taken several rural.small buildings totally apart. and re-constructed at inner city addresses. out house. smokehouse and windmills. (Once sold a old outhouse to a couple of Lesbians for the garden tools....or whatever) Anyway, Larger stuff such as Timber framed barns for the fun of it when I was younger and folks used to give them to you free for the taking. I worked with a demo contractor to de construct a roof and cupolo's of the Richmond State Hospital in Richmond, Ind. several years back. (4) Big 22' Onion domed cupolo's built out of 8' X 8' timbers,popular and Zinc/metal roof's with cool finials. situated 3 stories in the air, craned them down and horiz, transported down Hyw. 70 into Indps. to a local Architectural salvage company.....not sure he has ever sold any of them, but thought the 1890's coolness was worth saving. Roof was slate with 2" X 6" oak and 6 flat beds of of that & 8" X 8"s that were purchased by a southern timber buyer. Project was labor inificent even for 6 yrs ago or so. labor cost only differed from timber purchase by about $5000 or so to the plus, but I felt we delayed the demo contractor and I Now... know what that does to the slim profit margin in demolition. About 2 yrs. ago, a bid package came our way from a firm out east that was looking for a demo/dis-mantle contractor to take apart a distillary in Ky. 95% reclaimation goal....all the bricks and timbers Salvaged, transported back East and reconstructed for offices or houseing. We didnt bid....anybody familiar or know how that project went? I can not even remember the town in Ky. America loves small buildings and structures, I say let's recycle the whole structure but $ seems to say otherwise most of the time. Thanks for the interest James......great forum folks. Happy holidays.
