Mulcherman, I am in B'ham; if you need some eyes on it, give me a PM and i might be able to help.

When was the structure built? Is it Heart Pine Lumber? Is the brick solid and is it salmon colored? If so the market is fetching .50-.70 per brick or anywhere from $250.00-$350.00 per pallet of 500 brick stacked and cleaned. If its heart pine Lumber its bringing anywhere from .25-.50 per board foot for 2x10's, 2x12's and Bigger beams. The little boards they will probably take for free at your cost save you on the dump fees. If its old growth pine tongue and groove 5" wide thats gold!! Salvage it!!! The metal market ain't nothing to write home to momma about, but it will give you some up front money!! That building is what about 21,000 Sq/Ft if the building is at least 100 years you should bid cheap if you can market your material and have some resources to sit on it for a while since the GC's who buy this material will be in short demand right now. Post some pics and I'll break it down for you. If not sure who to sell your lumber to or brick call you any and all Lumber yards you can find, restoration companies, millwork companies and the first 10 Remodeling companies in the yellow pages they usually pay more to advertise and have a bigger list of business. According to your post you seem to have plenty of room to tear it down I would tear the roof off first, take out the 3rd and 2nd Floor then once the floors are out cave in the walls and hire you a crew to stack brick all day. Pop the tongue and groove up cut the beams and drop them to the 2nd floor and repeat the process. Anyhow if you have any questions repost and I'll try to help ya out.
