The Red Barn and Turkeys

The red barn has been falling apart for some time now. 
The roof has blown off part of the shed and barn.  Now pieces of plywood are falling off.  The cinder block foundation is toppling.
Termites and powder beetles are eating the wood.
In short, it's a disaster.  I have been slowly removing anything I think I might be able to use. 
It's pretty empty now compared to what it once was.  J contacted a man that has a hobby of tearing down old buildings and reselling what he can.  He came out a couple of weeks ago and said he would start last week.  We have not seen him again.  I am still hopeful he will show up.  It would be nice to have the barn gone so we could think about putting up something better.  The only thing we need the barn for is to give the goats a little shelter on occasion.  They really like getting up under this one at times. 
Then, because I had left my camera in the truck, J took some turkey pictures as he was going down the driveway. 
We have been seeing turkeys and deer pretty regularly.

It sounds like you have done all you can to utilize the red barn. Hopefully the person you found will come back and dismantle/remove the rest of it for you.

Looks like M will have some good hunting when the turkey/deer seasons roll around.
