  • Concord, MA is famous for the start of the Revolutionary war, but also for its literary celebrities. Appliances, building material, and radiators are salvaged from the house before the major demolition begins. Outside, an arborist sprays the old Hemlock trees on the property to protect them from an insect called Wooly Adelgid. Time to cut off the garage addition.

      I know- that house is huge but according to them not so much. So wasteful- I get they are reusing some items but seriously people in the US need to scale down...not up. Also what a waste of $$ shipping items to Haiti - just have the local restore pick up or give away locally. I am sure they feel better doing it but makes like sense carbon footprint wise

    Sending old appliances to Haiti may feel good, but i work for an international charity - 99% of the time, you're better off donating items locally and just giving $ overseas. Shipping is really expensive and it's much better for the local economy to purchase new items in country. Also, US appliances are much larger & use more energy than those used almost anywhere else in the world.

      I was wondering about this. I immediately thought wow, ship it all the way to Haiti? That can't be cheap. Who's paying for that? Wouldn't it be cheaper to just send that money and buy the stuff there? Basically I was thinking that can't be economical. It's not like you can email the stuff. Someone has to boat your old sink all the way to Haiti 😂

      Anything that can be salvaged and/or reused is a money saver. Especially if during demolition, things like mold, lead, or asbestos are found and need to be abated. Abatement is pricey.

      It seems nice, but in reality the cost of human labor makes it silly. The homeowners and show producers are riding the high from virtue signaling while actually being wasteful in terms of time and money. Good for them!

    Years ago, I recall watching a TOH episode where Tom was pulling the nails out of reclaimed floorboards from the back side with a pair of fencing pliers to save the face of the board from fraying the wood as the head of the nail is pushed out. I even think Kevin had the pneumatic nail remover and was showing Tom how well it worked, funny how times change.

    Operating an excavator is not that hard as long as you never have to do anything close to precision or delicate work. Tearing down the far end of the addition is easy. Close to where the cuts were made takes a more delicate touch.

    A substance doesn’t have to be toxic for it to be harmful to your body. Oil or water in any ratio or quantity should not be inhaled. An N95 mask or respirator, whichever is appropriate for the type and amount of material, should be required during spraying.
