My Uncle just passed away in North Dakota, i'm flying out for the funeral tomorrow.
The farmhouse was remodeled in the early 1900's and is actually pretty big house. the foundation is shot. back in the day what ever they used in the cement ended up falling apart and just flaked. i remember 20 years ago them talking about what it would take to save the house. lift it up and redo all the foundation and it just wasn't worth it.
Well now that he is gone there is zero use for the house. i know the cousins had talked about just burning it down. which is standard practice back there,
But with prices of lumber what they are now days i was wondering if it actually would have any value. i would imaging that the bottom foot of the house would be useless but the rest should be in good shape. they don't have humidity up there.
