How to Recycle a House for Fun and Profit 

Okay, mostly for fun. And more space.



Saving a House

This house was scheduled for demolition, so the property can be developed. The owner would prefer that it be moved and reused, if it can be done before construction starts.

We hate to see perfectly good houses getting torn down because they're in the way. We also need more space than we have now. Two adults and two teenage boys living in about 800 sq ft is ... stressful.

Serendipity happened, and the owner has given us the house, on the condition that we get it moved in time. We need to have it moved into our back yard by August 8th, and then we'll connect it to our house!

You Can Help. Here's How!

If you'd like to help, please check out our GoFundMe campaign. We only need $6000 more to move the "new" house to our property, but we need to have it by August 7th!

Oh, and we're not treating these as donations, we're treating them as loans, and we'll pay 10% APR on them. And we guarantee at least one year's interest, no matter how soon we pay you back.

We plan to refi by the end of January 2018, so we'll be paying back any remaining loans at that time.

But wait! There's more!(To be updated).
