Some of the building materials that were already here, like these vintage pull down attic stairs, were removed and reinstalled.
The entire wood floor was carefully removed and wrapped up for further reinstallation.

Just a handful building products companies are finally and smartly accepting their own left over materials, reusing and reprocessing the otherwise trash.
