Tax credit? My money?
Find a carpenter willing to work with recycled lumber?
Who pull out all of those old nails?
working with a lot of lumber cut too short to deal with?
An old water heater in my new home?
This just doesn’t look feasible to me.
Well : It’s the West Coast.
When I was in high school my dad was given a house with the condition that we tear it down and clear the lot. He took it to get the lumber. We ended up with a LOT of usable wood among other things. There was no labor cost because it was myself, two sisters and four brothers along with dad who tore it down. Pulling out old nails is one hell of a chore. The scrap lumber that we couldn’t use was given to my high school for it’s annual bonfire.
I don’t ever want to do that again.
