Finding Used Housing Materials

by Peggy on April 22nd, 2008

It’s Earth Day, and well — Happy Earth Day. I hope you do something green today and each day.

Now, what could be more green than using reclaimed materials for building or renovating your home?

Green building problogger Jennifer tells you how to find the things you’ll need in Building a Reclaimed House - Where to Find Used Materials. 7 Places to Locate Used Goods for Building.

Now, that’s the longest title known to man, but I did include the subtitle for you as well.

If you’re into DIY building and repairs, you should also check out the new blog on the b5media block — Toolbelt Tips, written by your virtual handyman Collin. DIY home repairs save you big bucks. The difference between what Michael and I spent totally gutting a 1950s bathroom and what the contractor quoted is thousands. I don’t have that house anymore, but I do miss that cute retro bathroom. I wonder if the new owners would let me visit it . . .
