In early spring, we are planning to demolish our River House to make way for the new one. By then, I hope to have found a new home for or recycled all of the useful building materials. Pictured above, is our oil-fired furnace and air conditioner loaded onto a truck destined for a second life. Pictured below, from a few weeks ago is our water heater and dishwasher on their way to a new family. Over the weekend, I also removed all of the copper and bronze pipes from the house. They will soon find their way to a metal recycler. It is very satisfying to see all these items repurposed rather than winding up in a landfill somewhere.
