I agree being better builders. So far, for woodworking projects I end up using almost all my "scrap" for one thing or another. I've denailed some old stuff I had and recut or planed it for reuse in projects. It's a shame when people tear things down and don't reclaim the wood, even if it is just 2X4's. I see a lot of tearing down here in IL where they don't reclaim. I've got an old shed on the farm now that is probaby 35 wide X 200. I am afraid that one day a good wind storm will get it. It's built with a lot of 2X6 and 2X8, mostly in the truses etc. It's dark wood, not sure if it's the species or just time, but If it has to come down one day, I plan to reclaim the lumber and either I or someone else will be able to use it. It's probably better wood than you go buy today at a big box. Maybe some of it can end up as furniture or ?
