    Doors and windows are easy to move, last week the cheapest window in mernards was 37$. You can move them all day long at 10-30$. The only wood I take are any 2x4s or 2x6s I need for current projects. Like what was said above, by the time you pull something out, remove nails and staples you have a lot of time invested. I don't have the knowledge to tell what old floor or molding is worth my time. The exception to this is any timber or piece of wood that is wide/ long. I'm meaning 6x6 or 8x8 solid beams are used by craftsman or can be sold because they are lots of bucks new. Paneling or boards that are wide, where you can see the grain and can tell it came from a large wide tree. The old growth trees are disappearing so cabinetmakers and wood workers are always looking for that stuff. It's hard to explain but maybe someone else can explain it better.

    I love to work at nothing all day" -BTO
