Timber Framers Guild Forums General This Old Building dismantling barn; how longwill it take?

Thanks you Brian,

I appreciate your input. what you descibe sounds promising for me as the owner would like to see this take no more than a month to 5 weeks. I will work alone a lot, but at times have 3-4 people helping me. Was your smaller project a pure barn, as in nothing but wood?

I do plan to do a complete 3D CAD drawing of the frame once it is fully exposed before it gets dimantled. sound advice.

I'm hoping for around 3 weeks worth of stripping down to the bare frame, then a week to document and dismantle the frame itself.

I'll have our local lumber yards truck with a boom mounted fork lift to pick everything up and haul away, but other than that it will be all man power to disassmble.

thanks again.

Shaun
