Conference attendees decon an abandoned home
Two of the attendees from GLR 2008 got together and took down a 2300 sq ft abandoned home using hybrid deconstruction in Cleveland, OH. RE-USE Consulting and Urban Lumberjacks of Cleveland (ULOC) used an average of seven workers for 4.5 days (8 hrs per day max.) in the darkest time of the year to deconstruct this 2.5 story building. They used another day and a half to finish cleaning up the site and denailing over 6500 board feet of flooring, framing and misc. 1x material.
This was only ULOC’s second home so congrats to them for a job well done. Thanks to Buffalo Reuse and the BMRA for putting on the conference.
Denailing at 19 deg. F
Hello all. I am Glenn Johnson from Flint Michigan. I attended the 2008 conference and was very interested in deconstruction. As you may all know, Flint is a city with blighted issues. This is a major concern for me. I was looking to create a deconstruction program here.
