Reducing Construction Waste
One of the goals of the Green on Gift home is to minimize the amount of construction waste sent to the landfill. This has taken different forms throughout construction. To widen the master closet we had to move a structurally unnecessary beam. That beam found new life as the header for the closet opening (photos below). Other times, we simply used curbside recycling for construction material boxes and beverage containers.

- Originally the wall between the hallway linen closet and master closet contained a structural beam. This beam was overkill for the structural requirements of this location.
-
- The small hallway linen closet and master bedroom closet were combined to create one larger closet.
