Current status of the Scottsdale Project:
Here are some photos of our deconstruction process at the Scottsdale Project: (Click on the photo to view a larger, full width image, click on your "back" button or arrow to return).
We deconstructed many of the interior features of the home, such as the appliances, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, plumbing fixtures, doors, windows, fans, lights, etc. and we donated them to Habitat for Humanity, the Stardust Building Materials resale store, and Goodwill. We also hosted an advertised "Scavenger Hunt" for the public on the weekend before the deconstruction was begun.
Here the bobcat is being unloaded, it is just one of the large pieces of equipment used in the deonstruction work.
The large equipment is used to tear open a section of wall or raise the roof, so we can access the building components...the building was comprised of CMU (cinder block) and wood frame construction.
What a difference a few days makes. You can see the progress...and if you click to enlarge the photo you can see piles of segregated components...but, frankly, it wasn't as organized and effective as we wish it could have been. Used building components do not have much value, however, our motivation was to salvage much of the materials anyway, in consideration of the pollution generated and "embodied energy" to process them originally. We probably saved many thousands of tons of CO2 and coal burning, just for the materials we did manage to save.
This is a pile of 2 x 6's from the roof deconstruction. We salvaged many different types of materials. For example we salvaged cinder blocks and walkways and sent them to a local recycler for grinding and reuse as the aggregate in new concrete at local construction projects. Some concrete with rebar that the recycler will not accept is being used on another project to raise the ground level for their home construction. Even that is better than going to a land fill dump.
Advanced System Schematics

This is a schematic of the components of our Zero Energy Geothermal and Solar Energies Management System and a few of the other environmentally harmonizing systems and technologies we are incorporating into our advanced Zero Energy Lifestyle homes.
This is an advanced water conserving system that will be incorporated into our Zero Energy Lifestyle homes to help reduce the environmental impact and to help lower monthly costs to the family.
