If that's lead paint that will also make it tough to sell. On a good day, with all the nails pulled, that amount of used lumber would sell in the $25-$35 range at auction around here.

It is a slurry of very fine lime that is sprayed on the inside of the barn to seal up the wood and prevent disease. The milk inspection program requires it. You have to do it every 5 years or so.

Everything he has is covered with FRP. Yes, I know what white wash is. Seen plenty of it in farm buildings. Also seen paint in some farm buildings. I'm in the construction industry and lead paint is a big no-no. [Reply]  [No Email]

Any parlor setup is FRP or something very similar. There is no paint in the milking area, only the milkhouse. [Reply]  [No Email]
