There is a woman here who has a little business demolishing houses
and other structures by hand, she takes out all the reusable stuff
and sells it pretty cheap -- flooring, framing lumber, doors,
windows, cabinets, fixtures, etc. I bought 6 largish double-hung
windows from her a coupla months ago, thinking about using them in a
new shed, $5 each. I also bought some really nice wrought iron
railings from the porch on a house she was tearing down, put them in
the loft of my addition, $300 for about 30ft. Took them to the
welding shop and got them trimmed and bracketed for not much, they
look really nice and have a bit of patina. She has a ratty old
warehouse she keeps a lot of stuff in, some treasures there!
She had a nice shed the other day for $150 then $75, you move it.
More than I wanted to fool with but it would have been a great deal.

I've used salvage lumber and nails for years, but never for a whole
building. I did salvage a garage in collage. Jacked it up and moved
it whole with 2 bridge blanks across the truck bed under stringers
nailed on the studs of the garage. The truck was mostly in the
garage, so I got a neighbor to watch it, check clearances, etc.,
direct me as I drove from where it was to where it was going, very
slowly. No permits, no notifying the politzei.
