Sometimes when I need reclaimed wood for a project, I'll buy it from somebody that's already done the dirty work of deconstruction. Other times, if the right situation presents itself, I'll go ahead and do the dirty work myself. This video shows one of those instances.
A college buddy recently told me about a former meat-curing building on his sister and brother-in-law's cattle farm that needed to come down, so he and I went ahead and deconstructed what we could, knocked down the rest, and continued deconstruction once everything was safely on the ground.
The day we did this turned out to be a pretty windy day, which made the heat (95-100 degrees) manageable, but it also made the decades of accumulated dust, dirt, animal remnants and everything else inside the building blow all over the place (which was pretty nasty...in addition to the insane amount of flies that sort of comes with the territory when working in close proximity to 1,000 head of cattle and their food). We ended up making about as much progress as I figured we would, and by late afternoon we were both pretty well out of gas.
We'll go back in about a week to finish deconstruction, get the site cleaned up and lumber loaded onto a trailer. After that...it'll be time to build some stuff with all the lumber that we reclaimed.
I hope you enjoy the video, and thanks for watching!
