I got this sent to me on Facebook and am posting it here so you all know about this. Hope this is appreciated. I will miss that house.
Own a piece of the Dukes homesteadAs you have probably already heard the Dukes farmhouse in Georgia is being dismantled. The owner was told it was a safety hazard and he is currently having it torn down. The contractor is saving the pieces and selling them. The money he raises will help pay him for the job.
If you are interested in owning a piece of the Dukes farmhouse please contact this contractor, Chuck Hewatt, as soon as possible. His email address is hollis42@comcast.net
Here is an email which he sent to Jon Holland to be posted for fans. I am copying and pasting this with Jon's permission.

So here is your chance to own a piece of history.
Calling on Hazzard Nation for some help!,
I recently discovered that my piece of the Dukes Farm TIN ROOF has been misplaced. Most likely in a box that went with my Charger for restoration.
Very likely the shop piecing my car back together thought it was a rusted out floorpan or something and threw it out.
I was looking for it today, ready to place it about my model of the Duke Farm house. To my dismay, I can not located it anywhere.
Does anyone happen to have another piece of The Duke Farm (WALL / ROOF on hand, or know where I can get one to replace the one I lost. This is SO unfortunate, and I’m really bummed!
I’m hoping SOMEONE can be a real HERO and help me out!
Thanks for checking.
