Demo!

Deconstruction started over the weekend!

The buildings are being picked apart and materials are separated into drywall, wood, plaster, metal, etc. It will all be brought to Revolution Recovery where the material is then processed by hand and by machine. All waste wood, metal, drywall, cardboard, paper, plastic, rubble, shingles and salvageable items are recovered and either reused or recycled.

Here are some pictures!

First Materials Arrive

Today Greensaw delivered a truck load of wood sheets that will eventually become the sub-floor of the buildings. They were acquired from The Resource Exchange who recovered them from a struck Philly movie set. We will be walking on Philadelphia Cinematic history, ha ha.

Getting ready for the demo work that will commence soon.
