The Art of Demolition   Seattle high-performance home builder Martha Rose, president of Martha Rose Construction, Inc., has made it a habit to carefully deconstruct any structure that is on any of the building sites she purchases.  Rose’s latest site Indian Wall where a 1960 duplex was deconstructed making way for two new high-performance homes will be built was dismantled board by board and nail by nail.  The job of dismantling an old structure is dirty and difficult at best and one can only imagine is it worth the extra effort? Undoubtedly it would be easier to bulldoze and haul off to the recycling center.  What would be missed from this job is the reclaimed old growth Douglas fir 2x6s and 2x10s that are far superior to the Hemlock fir lumber you typically find at today’s job sites. ... 07/08/2014
