We are restoring and I think that that has to be the ultimate recycling project... |

If the old house is well insulated and the support structure is solid, why pay extra to have it demolished and hauled away? On the other hand, if you've had termites, dry rot, mold, etc. or if it is poorly designed/insulated, start fresh. |
