I've been researching chicken coop plans for a few weeks now because I'd like to raise chickens starting next spring. I only want a handful of birds so most of the coop designs look relatively small. To save on the expense of building a home for the chickens I decided that we'd reuse as much existing wood on the property as possible. It just so happens that we have a very large barn that has fallen in that we need to clean up anyways.
This picture actually shows the one wall of the barn that is still standing. The rest of the barn has fallen in. The plan is to salvage as much wood as possible and to save the rest for a big bonfire this fall.
The first thing I did was to give my local building inspector's office a call to see if there were any permits that we'd need to finish tearing down the building. There is an application and a $75 fee. The office isn't open today because it's Labor Day but I'll send Rich over there tomorrow to fill it out so we're covered for the paperwork.

I saw this link on another blog.
That's one of the sites I've spent a lot of time on recently.
