2 Happily Married Americans asked:


We are tearing down a 125 year old barn, and there is tons of nice old wood, both planks and huge hand hewn beams. We have plans for a few things, including a 10 by 20 greenhouse/shed, some benches, and a few bookcases. But we will still have lots of beams, planks and siding left. Any ideas?

      The beams you could list on free site such as craigslist and sell them at flea markets people really seem to love the.
