A 27-Foot Tree and a Wife Who’s Had Enough

The other day, a guy called us up. He’s got a 50 to 60-year-old barn—solid size, sounds like it’s been a real workhorse over the years. He told us it hasn’t changed much in 30 years.

Here’s the kicker…

To keep one end of the barn standing, he put a 27-foot tree under it. That’s right. A tree. Not a beam. Not a post. A tree.

Inside? Everything he owns: trucks, tractor, side-by-side, snowmobiles, even a woodshed area. If that barn goes down, he loses it all. And his wife? She's been on him about it for months.

He’s hoping it’ll last another 20 years—but he’s not taking chances. He wants a second opinion from someone who knows what they’re looking at. That’s exactly what we’re doing: reviewing the photos, asking a few key questions, and giving him an honest take on what he's working with.

If it looks solid, we’ll say so. If not, we’ll explain why, what can be done to fix it, and offer real options—no scare tactics, no pressure, just clarity.

Here’s the deal:

If you’ve got an older barn or outbuilding and you’re wondering if it’s still safe, let’s take a look. You don’t need to schedule a site visit or wait weeks for someone to come out. Just send us some photos, tell us what’s going on, and we’ll give you a professional opinion—quick and straight.

Don’t be the guy with a 27-foot tree holding up your barn. (Or worse—the guy whose barn collapses on everything he owns.) A quick look from us might save you thousands.
