Recycling or reclaiming?

If you have been by the house lately you know there have been some changes. About two months ago Kirk and I tore down the little blue house in the back yard. I am reclaiming the majority of the wood from there to use to build walls on the shop. Warren helped me put up the first 2 walls, may I say that it would be much easier to tear down the whole thing and start from scratch as opposed to filling existing holes. It is just a lot of cut to fit instead of just building from lumber that is all the same size and standard to each other. Anyway this is all about saving money and reusing lumber. So here is what we have been up to......

Here Kari and I are also tearing down a wall that enclosed our carport. More free lumber.

The last piece is coming down.

Here I am using some old and some new lumber.

The wall is done and going up.

The framing and sheeting is done. The window is also reused from the little blue house. So far I have spent less than $100 for lumber and nails and such. I love being thrifty.
