I got measurements on the garage, it’s 24’ 3” square. Posts are 4”x6”x8’ they sit on the concrete slab. 3 trusses, son says no problem to take down. He says put hay spear on tractor FEL, put long pipe with hook welded on it for chain, chain onto truss, detach it, lift and put on trailer. He’s a calm, methodical git’er done kind of guy.

Pictures of the garage

It has a covered deck. Treated 2x6’s! They are 11’9” and the deck is 24’ long. 2 roll up doors

I got measurements on the portable building my sister is giving to my son. It’s 14’ wide and 28’ long. It has a little porch on it. The flood floated it off the blocks and shoved it up against a pecan tree. It has paneling and insulation that will need to be stripped out. But at least all the stuff that was in it was taken out and gone.

Son can use his tractor to pull building up to driveway so mover can get to it. The wood fence will be gone. Friends of my sister will take it down. We can back a trailer to the garage and pile the metal on it.

That ain't much of a truss to take out, the purlins would be the most cumbersome. Screwed or nailed in purlins on the joist hangers? Hopefully screwed for your sake on the purlins, if not it's best to just cut them flush as possible to joist hangers and good luck prying the joist hangers off the trusses.

Looking at all that... it is hard to picture the water from the flooding that had to be up to the top of the roof on them.... They are both going to be great for both of you... some work and elbow grease...that's cheaper on the pocket book too....
Hope your sister really likes her new place...

I got my met my DD in Waco today and got my little granddaughters.
We got back, parked car at church, transferred their things to the truck and the country was working on my road!!!!

The washout up near the paved now has a load or two of rock. It’s big, probably 4 or 5 inches. Then they dumped a load of rock in the lake that went almost fenceline to fenceline. None of it is smooth. But it’s a huge improvement. Hope they come back tomorrow and do some more.
