Does anyone have experience with barn removal?

Our place has an old tobacco barn that is leaning significantly and is unfortunately beyond saving, however much of the wood is still in very good shape.  For this type of situation, do people usually come take down the barn and haul the wood away and take that as payment, or is this something that we can expect to have to pay someone to do?

In my area, the wood is the payment.  I have seen ads where the barn owner wanted additional payment.  Word of caution, a number of years ago a barn was being taken down and collapsed on the two people doing it.  One was dead. The other was injured pretty badly.  It got legally messy.

Around here the salvage will cover payment if you don't mind the risk of some uninsured amateur doing the work, and the wood is mostly still good.

Professionals charge..

It seems to me that the big risks involve collapse. So, you might consider pulling the building over, prior to letting amateur hour begin.. if you are comfortable doing that.

I've done several small buildings as an amateur, it's fun and sometimes even worthwhile.. but I am pretty careful, and some people are not.

Are you sure its unrepairable, I remember we have talked about it before.
With steel props in place, probaly a crane if the timber is big it could be dismantled and rebuilt.
