LOL - a good portion of the studs in that house are actually salvageable, as well as detail wood and the entire stacked stone foundation, which I plan to use as a fascia for my house.

We've pulled a good bit of the aluminum siding off for recycling (not re-use), and there's still another 100 lbs at least on the other side of the house. We're recycling as much of the copper wire as we can, and have already salvaged things like fixtures, conduit, outlets, and switches. The freezer that was left in this house is in my Father In Law's garage right now.

As much as we can, we're going to try to only leave biodegradable material. Obviously, we won't get everything cleaned up, and some of it will still get buried, but we're doing our best with bare hands and hand tools, and it's only me and my Father doing the job now. We've done more in just one day than the last crew got done in 3 months.
