#furniture makers, #designers, #construction people. I have a boat load of lumber that is from our #deconstruction projects. We are training workers in the 53206 zipcode to get into the construction industry and the bonus is the vintage framing material can be picked up cheap.

The social impact of #deconstruction.
According to economist Aaron Klein, “Over one year, an abandoned property will result in, on average, an increase in crime costs of $14,000,” Add to this the cost of arson (estimated at $29,000 per incident and the risk to first responders).

Look what came in the mail today! Brand new copy of ICC 600-2020, the Standard for Residential Construction in High-Wind Regions. What a great committee to be a part of and an effort that will truly make an Impact. Pretty cool to see my name in a book (even if it is a code book)!
