Plenty of goodies in there though, doors and trim, windows, moldings kitchen counters, cabinets, bathroom fixtures, light fixtures, switches and plugs, electrical stuff, everything new, everything reusable, garage door and stuff, water heater, any skylights.

Our way with old houses was to salvage and sell everything possible and then sell the remainder to the locals to strip, sell or use everything they could, and then dispose of what was left.

Good point regarding the items you mentioned. The unsalvageable materials I had in mind for new construction or renovations were things like siding, sheathing, wallboard, roofing, etc. And it’s probably not worth dealing with the lumber given the existing cuts and nailing. That said, the materials may be suitable for charities. And the materials could also be hauled away without cost to the builder.
