TABLE OF CONTENTS
HERE’S A SAMPLE OF WHAT’S INSIDE:
“The owners had salvaged brick for years in anticipation of the project. “A couple of times, I had to say to them, ‘Are you sure you want to reuse that?’” Closterman jokes. The team used floor joists to make trellises for the windows, reused pine flooring, and reused lumber for braces and batter boards. This frugal sensibility is part of the reason the project stayed within its budget.”
