Old Barn Removal

Thanks, Rocky Fields.

We have enough other barns and outbuildings. It is a very nice barn. If it wasn't in the middle of everything (originally built with the original part of the house) and of use to us it would be fine. Where we live no one would want to rent it - no reason to especially with no available pasture and such - and we are surrounded by farms with buildings like that. Any one of you are more than welcome to come and buy the barn and put it up on your place!

Forgot, too, thanks Shawn for your input. Will keep it in mind if anything gets going with selling it. We aren't holding our breath.

When you as a homeowner have an un-licensed and/or un-insured contractor/handyman doing work on your property, you put yourself at tremendous financial risk. You run the risk of being subject to anyone, or even all of the following if the contractor is injured while working on your home:

* Medical bills for injured contractor/handyman
* Lawsuit by contractor/handyman
* Increase in insurance policy cost or cancelation of policy by insurance company

No coverage under homeowner's policy. Some homeowners believe it is safe to use an uninsured contractor, assuming that any damages incurred would be covered under their own insurance policies. However, this isn't the case. Most homeowner policies require that any work to the property be done by licensed contractors; coverage is often specifically excluded for damages caused by "bootleg" contractors.
