Second Chance

There is a house on my street that is in the process of "deconstruction". What that means is "the process of removing a building by taking it apart in reverse order of construction."  It has been a very interesting project and they are in the second week of deconstructing. The workers are very methodical by taking a two story home down one two-by-four at a time. (Also removing the nails from each board!)

However, according to their website: www.secondchanceinc.org this organization creates "green collar jobs" by taking apart buildings that would otherwise be demolished and dumped into a landfill. They then offer the reclaimed materials to the public at a discount, helping fund jobs and workforce programs. 

BSoleille!  The bright side of repurposing a deconstructed home! (And I won't mention the neighbors said it was "haunted")
