Waste Unltd.

Remember the clay tiles I mentioned earlier this week?  The ones on the little Mediterranean Revival shotgun at 2320 Palmyra?

Well, they went to the dumpster today - instead of being salvaged for reuse.

UPDATE: A person working with one of the site contractors say an effort was made - for several weeks - to locate someone to salvage the tiles. The house was held off the list of houses to prep for an extra week, all to no avail in the end.

Clay Tiles at Risk - 2320 Palmyra

If this Mediterranean Revival shotgun house in the VA Footprint is moved...and the roof must be taken off, as it has on the houses moved thus far...what will become of the hundreds of clay tiles?

It would be quite a waste to see them go to the landfill.

A friend pointed out this issue today.  Unfortunately, I don't believe tiles are listed under the salvage agreement, and I don't have any evidence that they will be re-used on the house as it's rehabilitated in a new location elsewhere in the city.  Thus, it seems important to find an outside party to remove the tiles at this point.
