Deconstruction - Day #1

Had an opportunity to stop by 26 Lombard Street this morning, just as Michael Gainer and the crew from BuffaloReUse were getting underway with their first demonstration project.

On Sunday, October 22nd, from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m., David Bennink from ReUse Consulting will be facilitating a deconstruction training at the site of our first deconstruction, 26 Lombard Street. This training is specifically for folks eager to take to the task of actually deconstructing buildings here in Buffalo.

Makes tons of sense on a very intuitive level. We'll be waiting to see if Michael and the crew can turn this project into cash. I know a number of people watching this project as an alternative to the current method of hauling houses off to a landfill.

First posted about this initiative back in September, right here.
