Writing more about alternative construction has been on my to do list for a long time now. We do have a blog where in theory we'll post about building projects but (like this post is about) there's rarely enough time at the end of the day to document things well.

Demo is definitely a big part of building here. The kitchen in the post was built almost entirely from salvaged or directly cut materials (the plastic roofing panels and screws were the main exception). Love that flatbed foundation idea. There's so many opportunities when people think outside the box. Sounds like your father was one of those people, cool to hear about it.
