I thank ya for your confidence @goatgurl , but it has been sooo long since I messed with wood and board feet that I was racking my brain..........really glad that there are real Pros to ask.........thanks @Bruce ....and having an Amish community close by @Mike CHS may have an idea on the worth of those timbers, as timbers.....

alright all of you great minds @greybeard

Not me...I detest and kill most trees..... remember?

I'm not much help there since I've never dealt in reclaimed lumber. I know that in Charleston, where renovations are a big deal, old barn lumber was going for $15-25 a board foot. The Amish don't sell anything for high cost so no help there either.

Miss @goatgurl,

I've been intending on asking you: do you butcher your own meat goats, or do you take them to a market to sell? If the latter, where is that market? I've just been wondering, in case we decide to get some meat goats one day.

Have you had the MRI yet, and if so how did it go?

I googled 120 year old barn beams for sale.....

https://www.ebay.com/bhp/barn-beams

this link says it's important to know what kind of wood it is as some species are more valuable

And I found these places that sell old lumber and barn beams. Stands to reason that they have to buy it from someone, might want to give them a call.

I am wondering, too. I got sidetracked reading about the mouse in the house and how to calculate board feet, etc. Did they find anything about your back?
