Recycling as much debris as possible has become part of the process of demolishing structures in this day and age. Some items taken from buildings, such as steel, wood and concrete, are in high demand and command fairly nice prices. Then there are items left behind that the demolition contractor can salvage and sell. Pat Clauss, owner of Clauss Construction in Lakeside, removed a pair of wood and glass doors that once served as the entrance to Steve Wynns art collection at the Desert Inn in Las Vegas. The doors, including frames with inlaid gold, and magnificent beveled glass designs, were installed at his new Lakeside office, along with glass sconces retrieved from the same project. At several sites he has found workable heavy equipment and other machinery easily sold, or re-used by the company.

So much to build and not enough builders. Governor Haley Barbour says rebuilding here is suffering because of a tremendous shortage of qualified construction workers. That's why on Monday the governor threw his support behind an initiative called "I'm GREAT." GREAT is an acronym for Gulf Rebuild: Education, Advancement and Training. The goal is to train 20,000 Gulf Coast residents from Texas to Mississippi in basic construction over the next three years. Once they get the skills, the students in a heating and air conditioning class at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College believe they'll have little trouble landing jobs. "I thought it would be a good opportunity," said William Tune. "The classes are free so you just come in get a good education that's real quick.
Construction of new homes has cooled to a one-year low, led by a pause in condos and apartments, in what one Canadian home builder described as a "lull" in the sector. That's not to say the domestic market is in for the same kind of slowdown seen in the United States. It's more that the fiery pace of construction in recent years is ebbing, economists said. Signs are already in the offing. Housing starts fell 2.4 per cent in September, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. said yesterday, countering economists' expectations for a gain. High-rise construction fell to a two-year low, although single starts rose for the second month in a row. .

Some homes have a certain air about them. And this new-build home is no exception, exuding the charm and Old World style of a French countryside chateau. Indeed, local custom home builder JP McMahon Builders created a breath of fresh air in the Windy City with the help of James W. Livingston, CKD, who designed the kitchen. The project marked Livingston’s first collaboration with JP McMahon. It was completed just a few months ago, notes Livingston. "The client gave us creative control and a large space to work with… The approximate size of this kitchen is 18'x30'. The large expanse of the kitchen warranted a large, central island to seat at least four people," recalls the designer, whose firm, Livingston Kitchens, is located in Chicago, IL.
