He never did finish the wood covering as we moved to Indiana before he finished.
@FoFa : Wow!!! Taking down the barn was huge, but that amount of wall covering is immense. I hope the next owners appreciated it, even unfinished. Shame to leave it after all that work. Sounds like an interesting house. Did y'all take a little wood with you for the next house, or just let it all go?
The place my horses lived up in Michigan had an 1800s barn that was on its last legs. Used for hay storage when I first got there but the floor was pretty unsafe by the end. (Sheltered a den of foxes quite nicely though!) It was still standing when I visited last summer but may be down by now; it costs way more fortune than most people have to restore them. If it had fallen before I moved I'd have brought some wood south with me; as it is maybe enough for a picture frame or something would fit in luggage next visit...
