Mr and Mrs Triassics New Home

Well done, I know what it's like having dismantled our timber bungalow. We've been lucky and given most of the timber away on Freecycle/Freegle and the rest we've taken to the tip. We had to pay to have the asbestos removed but we're still within our budget for demolition. It's taken three months to take it down and dispose of everything but it's satisfying to do it for nothing and everything takes us an age.

I tried to give it away and I only had one guy turn up and he only wanted new wood! I even tried advertising it as firewood as we live in a rural area and a lot of people have woood burning stoves, again I only had one person come and look and he only wanted logs!

 

I did manage to sell a lot of the internal fixtures and fittings. I reused some of the timber to make a site loo, it’s a lot nicer than a plastic Tardis Loo and it doesn’t blow over in high wind!!

Although  we didn't have a demolition to do, I've managed so far to burn everything burnable left over from the build, utilise everything masonary based to fill in holes and recycle all the metals. So quite amazingly I've not paid for one single skip thus far! I was certain I'd need to, but by waiting for nights when the wind direction meant I didn't inconvenience anyone with smoke. Some bits and bobs have gone in with domestic waste and the recycling bin, though I'm careful not to overdo it at any one time.  I may have to work something out when I get to plasterboarding out however.
