beams

I am looking for opinions on some large beams that J Miller and I are acquiring from and old fertilizer warehouse.
We will be using just the wood that is above where the material was stored.
No pesticides were stored in this building.
I would think this wood would be safe to use for building with.
These beams are large and long and too good to go in a landfill somewhere.
Any suggestions on marketing these 10x14 x45 beams are welcome.
We have the ability to remove them transport them and store them.
There is quiet a bit of labor and transportation in this project so we wanted to be sure they are safe before starting.I think we are good.

It seems that the wood species would dictate a lot,, woodplanet has listings for request from buyers,

Are they 10"x14"x45' ? or 45" How many you have?

They are 45 ft now.We may have to cut them back to 40.
will know more when we do the job but i'm thinking 2 or three semi loads.
We will start in a couple of weeks.

You mentioned you can store them, so that's what I would do, if you can, not sure how much you will have invested, but quite sure something will turn up,, sounds like a moderately rare find.
