Grain elevator deconstruction

Here are photos of a deconstruction project in Weston, OR. This is a grain elevator that has not been used for several years. It was amazing to watch the activity over the last several weeks. There were thousands of 2"x6" boards that were nailed in several locations. The building was constructed at least 70 years ago. There was apparently no way to save the boards - so all was chipped except a few major beams. It was sad to see the boards converted to chip - but the building had become a safety hazard.
