I could use some guidance. A house on the next street was demolished this week. I managed to get a little bit of oak flooring, but I got there after Danny had broken most everything up with a backhoe and piled it on top of the foundation. We swapped stories about places we'd both lived (Virginia Beach, Guantanamo, and Opelika, Alabama) and he took my phone number and said he'd call me when he was about to tear down another house. These are usually houses from the 'forties or so, wood frame construction and almost all with wood flooring. Frame will be yellow pine, almost surely.
What should I try to get first, before Danny reaches over my shoulder with that backhoe, and what tools do I need. No power, of course. Would a chainsaw be of use? (Yeah, I know, nails everywhere.)
Thanks for any help.
