Demolishing one house to build another

We're making a house as sustainably as possible, and that means avoiding new materials where possible. Charlie spent a week up in Perth salvaging materials from houses that were scheduled to be demolished (and sent to landfill) the week after. It is heart-breaking to see how much waste is created by the construction industry!


We filled up a cheap shipping container with salvaged materials and shipped it down to our block to divert at least some of it from landfill.
