It's a great idea---it's amazing how much reusable/recyclable material there is in houses htat just ends up in a landfill when old construction is demolished to make room for new---from kitchen cabinets to pipe to drywall. People will even just throw away hardwood floorboards from old houses, when they could so easily be refinished and reused. My current house is sided with Hardiplank, which I plan to have removed carefully and used to side a new garage when I build a new house.
