When they demolish a house in Detroit...what happens?

[Johnnny5]

Lmao at deconstruction as being a new trend.
My great grandfather "recycled" bent nails from "deconstructed" homes 75 years ago. And by recycled I mean straightened and re-used. Along with every board and other "architectural salvage"

Yeah, I think it was rather common especially among those who lived during the Depression. I still have a couple boxes full of straightened nails and recycled bolts and screws that belonged to my great grandfather. I never even met him, but I did get to hear stories from my father and grandfather about how they had to spend hours with the vise and a hammer fixing the nails. The funny part is a couple times per year I end up going into those boxes to find a unusual machine screw or bolt to repair something.
