About the Blog Author
City girl moves to the country, falls in love, and marries a farmer. She tries to incorporate her city ways with her new country lifestyle and blogs to keep in touch with friends, family & students who live far, far away :) Can this city girl go country? Watch as she learns all sorts of exciting things about life on the farm and in a small rural community. *UPDATE* We are now parents! Our baby girl was born on Nov. 11, 2008 (at 28 weeks gestation- 12 weeks premature, but she's quite the trooper)!!!

LOL!! Your mom's too funny!
Hee Hee! That there barn is worth some serious dinero, missy! Sell the wood. Do a google search for barn wood or architectural salvage. There are firms that just buy old barns for serious cash plus they take them down for you. I paid $140 for just 10 boards.
Oh my gosh! Thanks for that interesting tid bit!! I had no idea! Ms. Mamma, how on earth did you know that?! ;) My fiance mentioned that he thinks the boards may be worth something, but I had no idea that some firms may even take them down. To think we were going to do it ourselves!!! Oh my!
Totally, Christine! Google 'barn wood broker' or something similar. I'm a freak for design and architecture and a few years ago I wanted some just for one wall in one room of my house. I researched it first but then found a guy in my area that does just this thing. he buys old barns, takes them down and then sells the boards and beams to some type of architectural slavage broker. Let me know what happens! I have mine hanging horizontally and it looks so kick ass, it's over 100 years old. Maybe you guys should save some of the wood and build a little love shack getaway!
Awesome!! You know, J is going to keep some of the boards and use them. Funny you mentioned a love shack, cuz he just told me he wants to build a little cabin in the woods for a little getaway place for us. He's got 100 acres of hardwood forest so we're even thinking of making a sugar shack and make our own maple syrup. lol
Heidi, think you can send me some pics of what you did with those barn boards you bought? It sounds SO cool! Sounds like you've got quite the eye for art :) Can't wait to see what you've done with the boards!! 100 yrs old!! WOW! Must be gorgeous!
Oh, I researched some sites and there IS a lot of money in barn boards, BUT they don't want the wood painted or treated!!! Darn!
