Subject: Old barn lumber --- Is it worth anything?


East Central Nebraska
I'm taking down an 80 year old cattle barn and wonder if the lumber is worth anything. The building is 90'x16' with 8' sidewalls. The siding is vertical 3/4"x12" with many layers of red paint. They covered the seams with beveled 2" wooden boards. The roof boards which are covered with tin are "3/4 with each board a different width between 8-12". Some of the roof boards appear to be cedar and I don't know what kind of wood the majority of the building is. The frame is not full dimension lumber. I know the frame lumber is worth hardly nothing, but is the siding or roof lumber worth something as antique. I looked on Ebay and it did'nt have much barn lumber ever sold. Should I go to the effort of disassembly or just light a MATCH?
