Is it at all reasonable to take one down and put it up on your place?

The old log barn behind the house is falling fast. Two bays with a  
drive-thru for team and wagon, like a dogtrot in humble old southern  
houses. As soon as I have some new roof I will take one bay down and  
preserve the logs for a future project. This one was built for  
expediency, not longevity, siting on small stones, rotting from top  
and bottom. I put bigger stones under it but I don't do roofs. Once  
the roof opened a bit it was all over.
