Chelsea Robbins, with Tuf 2 Top Excavation & Trucking, keeps the water flowing on what’s left of a house that excavator driver Lenny Reeder tore down at Eighth Street and East Fifth Avenue on Monday morning. “The old house had seen better days,” said Charlie Shepard of Shepard Builders. “The remains of the house are being recycled by Phoenix Recycling, so it’s not just being hauled to the landfill,” Shepard said. The old house is making way for a 2,700-square-foot Energy Star-rated house with an incorporated solar design.
