Neat OP!
Good luck with that. If all else fails here's this. 164lbs of Tannerite Kills a Barn |

I went through this about 15 years ago. 100 year old house, 3 barns, 1 dug well and 1 one drilled.
House had some great wood in it, rough hewn beams, rock piers. Cool. Inside was pine panelling and some of the occupants over the years smoked, which gave it a really cool color. There was some random cool stuff around the house: 9hp hit and miss engine, surveyor's transit in a wood case, the world's supply of starters and alternators . Challenges: * There was no actual septic system. It was a pipe leading to a trench covered in OSB. So, full septic was a line item from the get go. * The dug well had trash pushed down in it. A lot. And, I had every reason to believe the previous tenants had done something to poison the drilled well. (They were bringing bottled water in for themselves.) New well, new budget item. * The trash - there was a butt load of just worthless household trash in every room and every barn. Not cool stuff. But, trash bags of clothes, paper, broken junk. * The house had not legitimately been maintained in at least 30 years. Roof was toast. Floors were toast. Siding was toast. All of the interior was toast and some of the structural members were toast. Decisions: * The house had to go. At the end of the day, if I removed all the broken stuff, replaced it correctly, and then modified the house to suit our family, it would have been more expensive and much more time than simply building a new house. The upside would have been being able to say "Yep, a very small portion of this house is 100 years old." Wasnt worth it. * Took what I wanted from the property (the hit and miss and a couple other items). Then, had the junk pickers and recyclers come through. Then, called the fire marshal and had him certify it asbestos free and let the FD burn it all. They got great training out of it and even a little surprise when the old hand grenade/can of powder/something blew up in the gable over the front porch. They also saved all the trees (which paid huge dividends). * Started from scratch and planned a homesite and well that fit perfectly with the trees I wanted to keep. Found a great grader and went to work. * No regrets. |

Wear a dust mask. One of our members died from Hantavirus after being exposed to dried rat shit. View Quote Haven't set foot inside the house since before I bought the land, and I'm not going in without at least a mask with filters, goggles, gloves, and some coveralls that I don't mind trashing when I'm done. I don't think a dust mask is enough. |

We could do a buy from US Chemical Supply for bulk tannerite,
one of the arfcom horde has access to a RedOne camera and I think theres a couple of rifle owners on here still, Heck @aimless might bring down a NY legal AR... |

There's probably alot of healthy wood in there and that wood is a better maturity grade of wood than what can be bought nowadays. View Quote |

I'd clean it out and see what you have. Might be something that can be renovated into a cool house; build a dedicated barn for the business. View Quote |

Heard a story about someone that had the Fire Department burn down an old house. Turned out the walls were full of antique guns...too late.

Well after much discussion and probably more frustration from my contractor it's looking like we may do a barn with living quarters above as my full time new diggs. View Quote Talk with your accountant about mixed-used property. |

A total gut job and restoration is going to be less than a new build. The aluminum siding may not be what you want, but I'm sure it has preserved the house behind it. The roof doesn't look terribly neglected either. Trimming up the trees and doing some landscaping and it would probably be a nice looking place. View Quote |

My cousin helped clean out a house full of newspapers. After everything was in the dumpster he opened a newspaper to look at the old news. $100 bill was inside it. He had to go through all the papers in the dumpster but he found about $5000 in $100's and $20's. He also found a skeleton of a cat that hadn't been seen in a while under a stack of fallen newspapers. Worth checking everything out before you dispose of it. He also found quite a few small antiques and lots of old pocket knives between the newspapers. Hoarders and collectors sometimes look the same.
There is also some companies that will buy newspapers in good condition as they resell them 1 page at a time to people who want to know what was happening the day they were born etc... |

If the person was truly a hoarder you might want to make sure nothing of value is left before you turn it over to the demo guys. View Quote It was piled high with crap. Then they started finding jars of money. Ended up finding more than they paid for the place. |

That house looks chock full of asbestos - We wouldn't touch it and I doubt his would either. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
Quoted:
Ask the fire department if they want to burn it for training. We get offers to burn old houses all the time and 99% of the time they are chock full of asbestos which we would have to mitigate before burning. Honestly getting the local FD to burn your house these days is tough. The amount of paperwork involved and the cost is just too much for most to bother with. If it does happen it is usually a joint effort between several local departments. My suggestion is to wait for a dark cloudy night and burn it yourself. |

It's funny, were surveying a property for an estate auction that looks just like that. The old top was probably 80 something and had 2 houses and a large barn. In the house that was his parent's the entire place is filled with crap like posted in the picture. I don't think they threw away a scrap of paper.
He had a ton of guns too, but unfortunately the only thing the kids agreed on was the distribution of his collection among themselves. Only thing they missed was a black powder ball and cap pistol that was wrapped up in a shirt. Best of luck with your new property though, you may find something really cool in all the garbage |

That pasture looks like shit. Hope you will get someone up there to evaluate, spray and seed if necessary.
