They are. I have seen a few. The best approach by far. A new building with an old stone cladded outer. Never thought of it did you?

Here is post from Rick Dipper on hs barn
Options Underpin plant in steel pillars to hold roof rebuild
I am choosing rebuild, in block clad with orignal stone. This also resolves issues with insulation values, and water from the soil that in places is 6 foot up the walls.
Thanks all for all the posts - they are so full of information - for a newbie like me!
Nice to see all the differing opinions as well - when I sit down with my structural engineer I'll bring all these options to the table....
Thanks again

Get in high levels of insulation otherwise it will cost a fortune to heat. Who wants to be in their 70s and foot massive fuel bills. BY the time you are in your 70s fuel price will have risen, so it would be even more to keep warm.
Do you understand *anything* I post?!?
There's nothing wrong at all with that approach - but this isn't the same as taking down a building stone-by-stone while numbering them, then putting it back up in the same order on newly laid foundations.
hahahahahahahah, that's brilliant, a classic
IMM, you're a natural, I've just used half a box of tissues ROFL You should be on stage mate, preferably the first one outta town :D
Which isn't the same as taking the thing down, stone by stone, numbering each one and then reassembling in the reverse order. Besides which, looking at the photos the barn is made of bricks.
Cheers Clive
In reading the responses here I think IMM has himself used half a box of tissues. But he hasn't been crying.....

He is using "original stone".
IT is indeed, but the thread went onto rebuilds. This sort of thing happens.
This either that stupid David or Andy.
Oh you are a natural. So funny. Up there with Last of The Summers Wine. ROFLAO
Numbered????? No.
Sorry to disappoint. I only ever post with my real name.

To email, substitute .nospam with .gl
If he wants exactly the same exterior appearance yes. If not then put them anywhere. Duh!
Thanks Peter - once the guy doing the drawings has finished I'll have a meeting with the structural engineer - decide on the best way forward.... Regards

Thank you. At times I feel as if all he world has no logic, no foresight, no vision, no nothing. It is easy to get that impression from this ng.
