Did you see that? 399 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:45,833 The barn shifted, 400 00:15:45,833 --> 00:15:47,633 sending thousands of pounds of logs 401 00:15:47,633 --> 00:15:50,400 into a notch right in front of Mark's face. 402 00:15:52,067 --> 00:15:53,300 Oh! 403 00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:54,633 That notch popped back in place, 404 00:15:54,633 --> 00:15:56,200 the weight on it was just-- 405 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:57,867 It just popped. 406 00:15:57,867 --> 00:15:59,633 Now that the barn has settled, 407 00:15:59,633 --> 00:16:01,833 they can continue with the take down. 408 00:16:06,433 --> 00:16:07,367 ...Three. 409 00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:09,700 A hundred-fifty pounds. 410 00:16:12,533 --> 00:16:14,633 This one, about 75. 411 00:16:14,633 --> 00:16:17,067 Cleaning up 150-pound logs 412 00:16:17,067 --> 00:16:18,867 can be back-breaking work. 413 00:16:18,867 --> 00:16:20,867 Everybody here's got some kind 414 00:16:20,867 --> 00:16:22,433 of physical disability already, 415 00:16:22,433 --> 00:16:24,667 bad back, bad arm, bad knees. 416 00:16:24,667 --> 00:16:25,800 I think Graham and Mark 417 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,000 are about the only two healthy ones here. 418 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,467 We got bad heads. 419 00:16:30,467 --> 00:16:32,233 Bad haircuts. 420 00:16:32,233 --> 00:16:35,700 Sherman here, he's got somewhat of a bad back. 421 00:16:35,700 --> 00:16:37,967 Yeah, he'd go on workin' with a bad back, 422 00:16:37,967 --> 00:16:39,167 that's just the way he is. 423 00:16:39,167 --> 00:16:42,633 He's tough. 424 00:16:42,633 --> 00:16:44,367 He grew up with several brothers. 425 00:16:44,367 --> 00:16:45,833 He was the youngest one. 426 00:16:45,833 --> 00:16:47,233 They all picked on him. 427 00:16:47,233 --> 00:16:48,867 He'd wait till he had them at a disadvantage, 428 00:16:48,867 --> 00:16:51,200 he'd jump on their backs and box their ears. 429 00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:56,533 But for these guys, even a pile of debris 430 00:16:56,533 --> 00:16:58,067 can be a treasure chest. 431 00:16:58,067 --> 00:16:59,500 Good eye, good eye. 432 00:16:59,500 --> 00:17:01,867 It's a small animal trap. 433 00:17:01,867 --> 00:17:03,067 Still works. 434 00:17:03,067 --> 00:17:04,067 I can't work it, but-- 435 00:17:04,067 --> 00:17:06,467 Steel trap. 436 00:17:06,467 --> 00:17:07,900 Muskrats, 'coons. 437 00:17:07,900 --> 00:17:11,833 Let me see.

little 'coon or something and... 441 00:17:24,033 --> 00:17:25,367 ...he's got. 442 00:17:27,033 --> 00:17:29,300 Twenty miles from the St. Meinrad dogtrot, 443 00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:31,500 Mark's got a lead on a timber frame barn 444 00:17:31,500 --> 00:17:33,633 that just came on the market. 445 00:17:33,633 --> 00:17:35,867 I go on these scout missions all the time 446 00:17:35,867 --> 00:17:38,300 to try to find a salvageable building, 447 00:17:38,300 --> 00:17:41,500 and I think we probably look at a hundred buildings 448 00:17:41,500 --> 00:17:42,900 before we buy one. 449 00:17:50,567 --> 00:17:52,833 Looks like it's a timber frame. 450 00:17:52,833 --> 00:17:55,467 It's not bad, it's actually got a lot of good oak on it. 451 00:17:55,467 --> 00:17:57,067 There are companies all over the country 452 00:17:57,067 --> 00:17:59,633 that are trying to replicate what Mother Nature does. 453 00:17:59,633 --> 00:18:00,733 This part's been weathered 454 00:18:00,733 --> 00:18:02,667 but a lot of these boards in here, 455 00:18:02,667 --> 00:18:04,033 these are great. 456 00:18:04,033 --> 00:18:06,633 This is a bamboo frog gig. 457 00:18:06,633 --> 00:18:10,500 It's made for, well, 458 00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:12,700 spearin' frogs. 459 00:18:12,700 --> 00:18:14,800 This barn's probably just on the verge 460 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,200 of being able to be saved. 461 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,200 I'm gonna give it another look around. 462 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,500 I've got a guy right now that's looking 463 00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:20,467 for a wedding pavilion 464 00:18:20,467 --> 00:18:23,433 and this may convert, so structurally, 465 00:18:23,433 --> 00:18:25,233 I just need to crawl through it a little bit. 466 00:18:28,833 --> 00:18:30,300 There's water damage in the roof 467 00:18:30,300 --> 00:18:32,300 and it's just not gonna hold together. 468 00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:35,500 It's too far gone, that's a shame. 469 00:18:35,500 --> 00:18:39,100 This is like I'm five years too late on this one. 470 00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:41,500 It's a little beyond repair for me. 471 00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:43,200 The whole point about what we do 472 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,367 is to try to keep this from happening. 473 00:18:45,367 --> 00:18:48,967 So when this structure finally collapses, 474 00:18:48,967 --> 00:18:50,433 it's the loss of an art. 475 00:18:50,433 --> 00:18:52,467 It's a loss of our heritage 476 00:18:52,467 --> 00:18:54,167 and a style of building 477 00:18:54,167 --> 00:18:56,633 that not very many people in the country are doing. 478 00:19:00,433 --> 00:19:01,600 Back at the job site, 479 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,600 the rafters need to come off next, 480 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:04,933 but it won't be easy 481 00:19:04,933 --> 00:19:08,400 because all 48 rafter poles are connected. 482 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:09,467 There's a hay track up here 483 00:19:09,467 --> 00:19:12,033 that's got everything tied together. 484 00:19:12,033 --> 00:19:14,033 This barn used a moving pulley system 485 00:19:14,033 --> 00:19:17,100 called a hay trolley to transfer bales of hay. 486 00:19:17,100 --> 00:19:19,367 The track runs the length of the roof, 487 00:19:19,367 --> 00:19:20,833 connecting the rafters. 488 00:19:20,833 --> 00:19:22,233 This track they used to pull hay 489 00:19:22,233 --> 00:19:23,433 across the barn, 490 00:19:23,433 --> 00:19:26,333 it's holdin' some of the roof rafters down. 491 00:19:26,333 --> 00:19:28,033 When we try to take this roof off, 492 00:19:28,033 --> 00:19:29,867 that hay track is gonna try to hold 493 00:19:29,867 --> 00:19:31,567 the entire thing together. 494 00:19:31,567 --> 00:19:33,567 So if we can cut it in a few different spots, 495 00:19:33,567 --> 00:19:35,100 then we'll be able to get the rest of the rafters 496 00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:37,600 in the roof off. 497 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,400 Graham and I are gonna get in the bucket, 498 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,300 and we're gonna take the roof down 499 00:19:41,300 --> 00:19:42,600 from above the roof. 500 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:45,867 Watch out, comin' forward. 501 00:19:48,333 --> 00:19:50,267 Before the rafters can come down, 502 00:19:50,267 --> 00:19:52,133 that hay track has to go. 503 00:19:56,133 --> 00:19:57,300 We're gonna take one, two, three, 504 00:19:57,300 --> 00:19:59,167 four rafters at a time. 505 00:20:04,900 --> 00:20:06,000 There it comes. 506 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,500 I can drop the whole thing now. 507 00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:08,600 We can go off that hook. 508 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:09,533 Let me get off that hook. 509 00:20:11,033 --> 00:20:12,300 All right, don't drop it yet. 510 00:20:12,300 --> 00:20:15,033 I got the whole thing, 511 00:20:15,033 --> 00:20:16,933 got it with my bar, hang on. 512 00:20:16,933 --> 00:20:18,200 You wanna drop it, you can drop it. 513 00:20:21,233 --> 00:20:24,700 Wait a minute, can you do that again? 514 00:20:24,700 --> 00:20:26,867 Now Johnny has the difficult task 515 00:20:26,867 --> 00:20:28,833 of lifting off these rafter pairs 516 00:20:28,833 --> 00:20:30,500 without knocking off any logs. 517 00:20:35,533 --> 00:20:37,200 You don't know know what's gonna happen here, 518 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,733 but he's shakin' that building like that 519 00:20:38,733 --> 00:20:41,400 and you can see the beam up there movin' back and forth. 520 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,000 The big log's liable to come off the back 521 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,600 and pull the rest of those rafters with it 522 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,600 and it'll just be a big mess right back here. 523 00:20:50,233 --> 00:20:52,533 Watch out! 524 00:20:52,533 --> 00:20:53,700 One log falls, 525 00:20:53,700 --> 00:20:54,933 but he can't stop now. 526 00:20:54,933 --> 00:20:57,033 He's got to get the rafters down. 527 00:21:14,367 --> 00:21:16,900 Perfect, do it again! 528 00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:18,767 I got a little nervous when the top log fell off, 529 00:21:18,767 --> 00:21:21,267 but it didn't chip away any of the notches 530 00:21:21,267 --> 00:21:22,333 and that's what's important, 531 00:21:22,333 --> 00:21:24,500 but it's still safer than us being up there. 532 00:21:24,500 --> 00:21:26,867 I mean, let the machine do the work. 533 00:21:26,867 --> 00:21:28,933 We got a log off the building, 534 00:21:28,933 --> 00:21:32,200 but that wasn't our intention. 535 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,267 But I gotta say one thing, 536 00:21:33,267 --> 00:21:35,267 that Germans can build some barns. 537
