What happens here

This video details the process of demolishing an old, fallen barn and salvaging its valuable lumber, including oak, poplar, and heart pine beams, for future building and woodworking projects. The process involves an initial attempt at demolition using a utility vehicle, followed by successful demolition and log extraction using a tractor with a grapple attachment.

harvest these logs and I'll show you some of what I've done with the logs inside the house I've uh worked on my bar inside the house and made a little kick panel with it and basically when I build my house I'll have these beams that I can use for Decor or for load support so here's the bar and this is just a piece of Live Edge Walnut beautiful beautiful wood grain in that Walnut got some nice Burly nurly gnarly stuff and then we used Old Barn tin right here and then we took one of the logs from out of the building and put it right here and this is the log so this is the potential of what these things can look like guys they're going to be beautiful in our home when we get ready to build it so really awesome really happy with it there's some nice Oak beams in here we want to get them out we want to store them we want to harvest them got my buddy the red Beaver right here and we're going to get to work what do you think let's do it red Beaver said let's do it let's do it woo Stony

see so we got the chain hooked up we've got the gator hooked to the chain ran through the Raptors and we're going to try to jerk the roof off the building with the gator should be stupid guys we got the gator in full lock down four-wheel drive means all four wheels will spin like a tank we're getting ready to pull it we're going to pull down through here and hopefully this thing will collapse got
