Depends on where the barn is located as to wood species . My barn is American Chestnut White oak and black locust . The locust is primarily at the ground contacts. I believe the slabs in the rafters to be either Chestnut or oak need to get them down . The neighbor said they were there when he was a kid and hes in his late 70s Two middle pics are upside down cant get them to flip

I took these on an ATV riding trip. Coal mines in West Virginia. Apparently, they bored horizontally into the vein.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
They sure are blueprint consistent. Was that all of them or how many in a row?
Hey Mark, after I came out of your barn, I loaded up some locust

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Those honeycomb holes were everywhere.
Somone told me an auger brought the coal out and in some case's they had conveyors that brought it off the mountain. The roads are rough now, but, looked to have been well maintained at one time. I suspect there was a lot of truck traffic.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I wouldn't even have notice . I'm working on 24/25 winter wood now . Friend had 2 large standing dead white oaks come down alone his tree line . Also a large Hickory shaped about 10 feet up. So I'll be getting that next week . He wanted me to drop a huge white oak again standing dead but it's to close to his garage and power lines. Told him he needs to get a tree guy to do it . Problem is they are super busy now after the past few wind storms we've had .

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I'm no longer ahead and always looking and listening. Seems I was running into the wood for the taking like you are all the time, but it's been a while. I mostly scavenge off the side of the road, fallen or dropped. Lots of competition there these days.
This house was along Main St in Mt. Airy where I live, the Martin place. I knew it sold and saw it being prepped for raising, unfortunately. So, on the day I saw all the dust ahead I knew what was up. I found it ironic there is this huge billowing dust cloud from a pre-75 house drifting through town when I have regs up the wazoo for lead dust control so stringent with ridiculously high fines per violation. I think it begins on disturbing any area of wall over 32 sq' (4' x 8'). Ah, whatever.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Old home tear downs are sad. Some see it as progress while ridding the town of just an eyesore. I see it as the removal of someone's many memories.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
That place is a memory of mine. Many changes since I first came here. a local builder bought it, put in a cul-de-sac, and stuck 4-5 smaller homes in. Lots are big in town. Most places have a barn. They took the barn on this place down a few years prior. They are just now building the last house, which sits right where the old one did. It would have been more tasteful, in my opinion, to have left the old place stand. It was bought for the value of the land, so renovate the place that has been fitting in all along and stick the newer places (where they are) down grade and back where they impact the street view less. I mean, the town is known for its picturesque Main St. He did a good job, but I would have left the old place.
No eyesore. Someone removed the doors, windows, and most of the siding. I would have dismantled the whole thing. That place just needed paint on the exterior. It wasn't bad. The places along Main St, especially up the hill (like this place), were built as summer homes. The town originated as a whistle stop for the B&O climbing Parrs Ridge, people came out of the city to the cooler fresher air. The whole street is lined with turn of the century homes. The ones going down the hill are mostly the same Sears Catalog house. I think this place was one as well, frame house with steep turned gable. The ones up the hill are mostly Victorian. The president of the B&O's daughter built a sanitorium for children out of Baltimore along the ridge. I guess the town might not be here if there had been air conditioning

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I guess we do things different down here. Our mortgage company requires us to buy flood insurance if we live in a flood plain.
