Breakdown





The hardest part so far has been removing the rotten wood from the floor of the 40' shipping container. They build those things to be durable. A sharpend metal pole became the tool of choice, along with a pick axe and hand saw. I would definetly approach it with power tools next time, but hopefully thats the only one that will need a new floor.

We scored a couple windows, skylights, doors, 3/4 in plywood, footings, and electrical conduit at RE-USE Hawaii. I toatally reccomend this place for any builder who is down for a little treasure hunt. They take apart houses which are about to get demolished and sell the usable stuff. It is great and I think its one of the best places on the island. The guys who work there are a great help, always friendly and dont make you feel stupid when you dont know what your doing.
