The Reuse Everything eXperiment Reuses Everything... Including the Kitchen Sink!

Oregon-based author and designer Shannon Quimby recently realized her dream of building an entire house "without a dumpster" -- a project she dubbed the "Reuse Everything eXperiment."

By partnering with several leaders in the green-building movement, Quimby completely deconstructed a crumbling wreck of home in Southeast Portland and reused everything - from old lathe and plaster, to a long defunct water heater - to create a gorgeous new ecologically-friendly home.

You can follow this ambitious home recycling project from start to finish by visiting Quimby's daily blog.
