Do to highway expansion, I have to move a 30x60 "Pole Barn." The metal is what is commonly refered to as channel drain. It is nailed with 2" ring shank neoprene washered nails. What is the best way to remove the nails so I can reuse the metal?

Take a wide flat narrow bar (Wonder Bar) and have a short piece of round pipe (the hieght of the rib)welded perpendicular. You may need to grind the end sharper. This will allow you to tap it under the nail and pry parrallel to the rib woith the round bar bearing on the purlin.
