Dismantling an 1850s Barn in Under 12 Minutes (Time Lapse)

[@ithacacomments4811]

In my county we have an organization that will dismantle your house or barn or other structure and even save the nails for reuse or recycling!

[@DylanAdamsYoutube]

We saved as much of the wood and nails as possible. A lot of barns here in Canada you have to pay the owners to dismantle.

[@lukec8734]

Did you or did not build the barn again somewhere else exactly how it was before? Thank you.

[@DylanAdamsYoutube]

Any wood that was in good enough condition was detailed and stacked for future projects. the home owner was having a metal building built in the same place and needed the building gone ASAP. thanks for watching !

Fantástico

Grazie

How much did you do this for or were you charged or you had to pay all together I have a break down similar to this and a build up which will obviously be an upgrade

[@DylanAdamsYoutube]

This isn't something we do normally. The home owner needed the barn gone to replace it with a steel building. We didn't charge anything but we took all the materials and have been selling them off to cover labour and machine rentals. This was mostly a random project for the experience. Thanks for watching

@@DylanAdamsKZbincan I ask how many man hours it took? I need to do the same thing

[@DylanAdamsYoutube]

@@abc-ed1nr It took the 2 of us about 10 working days to dismantle. We took a lot longer than most would as it's not something we normally do and we were trying to save as much of the lumber as possible. Thanks for watching!

I liked it until you just yanked down the frame with a tractor, that's not dismantling

[@DylanAdamsYoutube]

After we had most of the extrerior striped we found a lot of the structure was rotted. The property owner needed the barn gone asap as he was having a new one built. He was the one who pulled it down.

[@TheMjthomas1988]

How long did that take you? Thanks

[@DylanAdamsYoutube]

I took the two of us about 10 days. Having the lift and tractor helped a lot.

[@LanceJennings-o4y]

nice,, but I do every bit of that,, without a lift !!

[@DylanAdamsYoutube]

This was our first time doing this sort of thing. We were on a time crunch and found the lift very useful. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@richer4poorer]

Well done guys how can we connect as I'd like to pick your brains.

[@DylanAdamsYoutube]

What would you like to know ?

[@richer4poorer]

@@DylanAdamsKZbin when you pulled the end off did you not break a ton of beams? How did you punch the pegs out of the remaining beams?

[@DylanAdamsYoutube]

The pegs all snapped and all the beams that weren't rotted through survived. The barn wasn't in great condition, we salvaged what we could but unfortunately a lot of the lower level beams had rot from old hay being stored up there for decades

[@nickb8618]

Why? Old barns are landmarks

[@DylanAdamsYoutube]

Home owner needed it gone for the space to build a new steel building.

unwatchable with the jiggle cam

[@DylanAdamsYoutube]

My camera work definitely needs some work. That footage was sped up a lot so it makes it a lot worse.
