mandycats Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Does anyone know what on earth i can do with a load of very old beams we had to pull out of our barn? We had 2 large platforms over each side of what was a cow shed and a tall free standing wooden construction (to store more straw bales on i guess). I was thinking of maybe asking a reclamation yard if they wanted them but i dont know the french! Can someone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 If they are good, as in useable, and oak, they have a value. Just advertise them. This really sticks in my throat to say this but the AI forum [:'(] allows adverts.If not, cut them up into half-metre lengths and use them on your wood burner.

mandycats Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Thanks for all your replies. Could somone pm me with the phone number of the reclamation yard? i like the sound of the raised beds and i shall be stalking the garden for somewhere to put one! How do you go about pricing beams? i dont wish to be offered 10 euro a piece and find they are worth 100! I have never had to get rid of anything like this and a couple of the beams are huge handsawn jobs around 1850ish in age, although not in perfect condition (as you can imagine) it would be nice to find them a proper home. Could you also enlighten me to AI? sorry i dont know what that is!Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
