wolf - I guess its to run down and cost prohibitive to rebuild. Its owned by a elderely lady and her son. They've lived there for 33yrs and its to much for them to restore. We are doing the demo and they are having a new house built where we just tore down the carriage house , which is out behind the main farm. Kinda of sad , its on top of a large hill in town and was once the "town farm" .

Hi Tom , how are ya? I think my son has wanted to help since he could walk. But this is his second summer actually going on jobs daily. He's a great help and we have a good time screwing around together. He's also the reason I have pics here , likes to mess with my cell , camera, computer & whatever else I dont want him touching.
Wolf - we saved some of the old fashioned glass, a pulley , two hay rakes , and some granite. I save alot of stuff from these farms and try to sell it or give it to someone who needs it. I really like demo on the residential jobs , beats the commercial crap all day. This carriage house was approximately 100yrs old. It had mostly all sawn boards . The actual farm house is approx. 200yrs old , i forget but the homeowner told me. It has hand hewn timbers and mortise and tennon joints in the barn. Heres a couple of todays pics. doug
