so I had this idea I saw the barn that falling in and I caught my dad up and I said look it sure would be a shame to let all those oak boards go to waste so this old great wood here makes beautiful flooring we're gonna build a house eventually and I'd like to harvest this wood so we need to have something from my grandfather's barn in my house we're gonna get it harvested and store it on the farm and hopefully use it sometime when we build our house I may end up using some of this on the walls in my office once we get it set up to I got a 16-foot flatbed trailer and we're gonna fill the entire trailer up I feel like this is an amazing amount of old-growth Oh timber it's awesome I'm not sure if it's old-growth but it may be old-growth that's you know this kid this barn could be circa in 1940 this big boy it's awesome all right this board is if you guys know any way I can straighten this stuff out you know if it got crooked it can get straight so there's got to be a way leave me a comment if you know how to lay this board these boards out so that they'll straighten out over time still working on it I'll show you how much number we got so
