Best take down all the walls if stone. Number the stones. build a nice

You're taking the ****, right?

Not at all.

Do you have *any* idea how long this will
take/how much it will cost?

Cheaper and faster than underpinning an old barn that is for sure. SA high
percentage of barns conversions are abandoned as the cost have escalated
because of foundation problems.

I've seen many barn conversions, but not a
single one which had been taken down stone
by stone, and put back in the same order.

Best way. Then you can budget properly and have the whole structure on one
firm modern foundation.
