I was going to run this through Babblefish,

but I couldn't decide on what two languages to use!

Do I understand that when you 'git with wood' you want to 'mark broads'? Well we didn't call it marking, but whose up with all the slang these days. The sawmill part worries me a little, you sure are kinky.

Blimey Charlie, get with the program will ya? ;O) He means those little minty boards that wriggleys make, you know spearmint and peppermint gum, wrapped in paper and silver foil that sorta thing! ;O)

Gentlemen (and others),

Mr. Van Denson either has a spelling disability or English is not his first language.

He has two very old barns to take down and is wondering if it is worth saving the wood. He has a portable sawmill available and somewhere to store the wood. If it is worth saving, he wants to know what is the best way to cut it up.

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to his question but I am sure somebody here does...

You also have a problem with details. This is the third new post from you and none of them have contained any details.

There was

What tools should I buy? What do you plan to do with your tools?

What size shop do I need? What how many tools are you going to have?

In three posts in this thread you haven't said what the constrution these barns are, what the wood /lumber is. I have a hundred year old barn but it's stick construction so other than some wide, old board there's little quality wood.

Are these barn post and beam, Stick -WHAT? Give us some details.
