A very big Thank You goes to the Building Value demo crew for all their hard work salvaging our gigantic wood trim for reuse, and especially for removing 5 dumpsters full of plaster, lath, and mummified squirrels.

Building Value is a nonprofit social enterprise that salvages reusable materials for sale to the public. Their efforts help the environment, reduce the cost of disposal, and give architectural gems a second life. They are a subsidiary of the Easter Seals and are an all around super organization. 
If you are interested in their deconstruction services or their architectural resale store, please check out their website here: http://www.buildingvalue.org/
