I'm surprised someone though that old sheet metal barn was worth the effort of moving, but it turned out really well. Were you involved with the moving and rebuilding?

John,
It was probably a toss up in terms of $ for construction but there were other factors involved.
Client is an avid recycler, almost all the interior was recycled material. Plus the move occured on the owners own land and salvaging the building allowed some things to be done that under Ore. Land Use laws could not otherwise have been accomplished.
Yes , I was involved hands on for almost every aspect of the move and rebuild. What I didn't work on was done by subs under my supervision.
