I'm doing some structural work on an old addition. A fair amount of the
wood I take off is in decent shape. (No water damage, in particular.)
It's T&G sheathing, 2x6's, and (especially) clapboards. It all seems to
nail OK.

It would be nice to just re-use this stuff, where I can. Is there an
informed opinion on doing this?

Thanks,
George

Re-using wood is becoming more popular as new growth wood is not as good as
some of the old wood. Cost is a big factor also. It is ecologically sound
also.
