Under building supplies for sale, in the Roanoke Times, I found a
30x70 chestnut log barn, from the 1800s.

Ah, to be young enough. Anyone interested can probably find it under
www.roanoketimes.com. No pprice indicated, but my guess is that if the
logs are in decent shape, it won't be cheap.



Sounds like that has cool shop potential. My wife and I often take a short
trip out of town to relax. We stay in an 1860's 2 story log cabin that was
an old tobacco drying shelter. The building was disassembled and
transported from somewhere in the eastern US and was relocated in SE Texas.
This thing is very solid.



Since the American chestnut tree has been just about wiped out I imagine
you could sell the lumber and build a really cool shop... and a house to
go with it.
