One of the most sustainable ways to acquire materials for building a house is to collect parts from soon-to-be demolished homes.

But perhaps you’re not sure how to go about deconstructing a house. Read ahead to find out how to safely deconstruct a home and build with reclaimed lumber, instead of destroying and ruining precious building materials.
