Pondering Ideas of Reuse

I was thinking this morning that when they do demolish the old house, could I reuse any of the old materials, and what would the new owner allow to be taken. I plan to go down this weekend with my cousin Stephanie to take pictures before it is demolished, but I may also look around and see if there’s anything we can ask to take.

Honestly I wouldn’t mind having the windows, if nothing else we could use them in new animal pens. Doors could be useful, maybe. I know I really liked the old hardware on them, and having those could just be my “remembrance” item from the house. Maybe even some of the wood floor could be salvaged. I know dad wants the old gas stove, even though it’s older than me. I’d definitely like to have the electrical box and the hot water heater, since we paid for and installed those ourselves.

None of the cabinetry is any good, and the oil based heater is shot. I can’t think of much else at this point, but I wouldn’t mind doing a little diving.
