New England #3, 2011

The group arrives with 33 people to complete a lot ofwork in a short amount of time.

In most instances, the construction was already underway, or multiple houses were being worked on at thesame time, so the Bike and Build members were divid-ed into smaller groups and paired up with a memberof the construction crew, so they could complete asmuch of the work as needed in the time they had.

By Jay AdamsCEG CORRESPONDENT

Brandon Biggs is pedaling non-stop on a sta-tionary bike, preparing to bike across the UnitedStates to help build homes for the poor and lessfortunate.

Biggs, 23, a Louisiana native and a Cocoa,Fla., resident is a first-year law student at RogerWilliams University in Bristol, R.I. He is train-ing for 80-mi.-per-day rides in order to do“sweat equity” with a local affordable housinggroup, so that in spring he can help contractorsand construction work crews put up homes forthe homeless in a half dozen states.

Bike, Then BuildBiggs is one of dozens of young people, aged 18 to 25,

who have joined Bike & Build, a national organization thathas raised $2.78 million over eight years to help varioushousing groups build homes. Its expansive national footprintallows it to promote the need of affordable housing in 47states, one province and hundreds of communities nation-wide.

Biggs first heard about B&B from a friend during hisundergrad years at Flagler College.

“I fell in love with the idea of seeing the country at thepace of a bicycle. At that time, my experience with bikes waslimited to owning a mountain bike I bought at Wal-Mart, and

riding to work and class occasionally,” saidBiggs. “After I was accepted as a rider, I begantraining last December [2009]. Riders committhemselves to ride at least 500 miles before thetrip leaves and at least one ride of 65 miles orlonger.

“I am now completely hooked on cyclingand I ride as often as I possibly can, even if itmeans on a stationary bike in my living roomthrough this New England winter,” he said.

“Some [riders] are absolutely head overheels for affordable housing and that is the driv-ing force of biking. For me, and many others, itwas the adventure of riding that really made mewant to do this. The fact that it was for a greatcause was an added bonus.”

Away from studying the law, Biggs haslearned all about “sweat equity.”

“I think one of the main reasons that B&B has riders dosweat equity is not only to gain experience in building, but itcauses you to fall in love with the cause. I will never forgetthe satisfaction and pride I shared with the young lady I wasworking with in St. Augustine, Fla., last year as we wrappedher shed in weatherproofing, and she was called into whatwould soon be her kitchen to pick out the color for her coun-tertops. It was such a simple thing as color, but she glowedknowing that she and her kids would soon have a home andI was elated to be able to share in the last day of her sweat

Waterbury Looking to Deconstruct, Recycle Old Factories By Penelope OvertonREPUBLICAN-AMERICAN OF WATERBURY

WATERBURY, Conn. (AP) As an aging, down-on-its-luck industrial city, Waterbury is littered with dozens ofdilapidated, abandoned factories. In the past, whenever itcould scrape together funding, Waterbury would pay todemolish such buildings with a bulldozer or wrecking balland haul the debris off to a landfill.

But this spring, Waterbury is trying something unusual. Itis going to deconstruct two old factories, dismantling thebuildings from top to bottom, and recycle them. State offi-cials believe Waterbury will be the first city in Connecticutto dismantle and reuse or recycle the parts of a commercialor industrial building. Through deconstruction, the cityexpects to reuse and recycle up to 80 percent of the build-ings, from the shingles on the roof to the wood planks in thefloors.

This labor-intensive process will create jobs, keep the con-struction debris from filling up local landfills, and makeWaterbury a big draw for environmental grant dollars.

“In Waterbury, with all its empty factories, we know theconsequences of unsustainable practices firsthand,” saidProject Manager Kevin Taylor. “We wanted to do better.”

It has been done in other places, especially out West, andplaces closer to home, such as Richmond, Va., New YorkCity and Worcester, Mass., but not here.

The deconstruction of homes and barns is not new. It wasdone by the settlers to save time and resources, and preser-

vationists do it now to save historic homes. “The residential market is already here,” said Joseph D.

DeRisi of Urbanminers LLC, of Hamden. “Everyone wantsa unique door, that claw foot tub, the stained glass window.”

For a price, he will deconstruct your house, church orbarn. He also runs a reuse center, where he sells the parts,from doors to cabinets, sinks to flooring.

It is so popular, and Department of EnvironmentalProtection is so eager to encourage it, that environmentalofficials, deconstructionists, historians and educators havetaken the idea to the schools.

This spring, Naugatuck Valley Community College willoffer a class, “The Reuse Solution.” In May, Yale Universityand DEP will host a national deconstruction conference.

Because it is smaller, the industrial market is national. Buteven that is growing as more and more federal grants requireapplicants to reduce their waste stream.

“That’s going to be the next wave,” DeRisi said. “I do thisfor philosophical reasons, but a house here, a house there, it’sjust a start. Now industrial, that’s real volume.”

For Waterbury Development Corp., the development armof the city, the drive to deconstruct rather than raze is bothaltruistic and pragmatic.

Removing the old Matthews and Willard Co. complex inthe city’s North Square will allow for the expansion of anadjacent Bender Plumbing Supply.

The city also is planning to deconstruct several buildingson Division Street, including two biker clubs, later this yearto make way for the new Police Activity League ball fields.

Its efforts to clean up its industrial properties, many of whichare tainted by environmental problems, have turnedWaterbury into a state leader of urban reclamation.

But it also has helped Waterbury stand out in a crowd ofcash-strapped cities vying for competitive environmentgrants, Taylor said. Deconstruction is the next logical step.

“It gives us a lot of brownie points with the people whoare handing out grants,” Taylor said. “The people handingout these grants don’t want us filling up landfills.”

Without such grants, the Cherry Street project wouldn’t behappening. The agency is using about $550,000 of a statedevelopment grant to deconstruct the buildings.

There is a debate about whether it costs more to take abuilding apart than it does to demolish it. The demolitionindustry said it does; environmentalists said it doesn’t.

Supporters said the sale of building materials to reuse cen-ters, sustainable contractors or, if necessary, the scrapyard foreventual recycling will offset high labor costs.

It also cuts down on project disposal costs, especially forprojects, like Cherry Street, that include asbestos and lead-tainted debris, which cost even more to landfill.

And then there is the incalculable environmental cost. In 2003, Connecticut produced about 855,000 tons of

demolition waste, most of which was carted at significantcost to out-of-state landfills, many of which are unlined.

“It takes a huge environmental toll,” said DEP analystSherill Baldwin. “Our landfills are almost full. Trucking thatwaste around is bad. And it drains our natural resources.”

And it also costs us a lot of money, Baldwin said. The state wants to reduce its waste production by 58 per-

cent by the year 2054. Reducing demolition waste will be akey part of achieving that goal, she said.

There is little debate about which process takes more time.A building can be knocked over in a few days, at the most,but deconstruction requires working by hand.

Demolition contractors can often raze a building, then sortthrough the debris for metals to be sold for scrap, but it’s hardto pull wood and windows from a bulldozed heap.

And if the building is contaminated, as Cherry Street is,salvaging items from a debris heap means every brick, tileand piece of wood will have to be cleaned.

In Waterbury, the city-hired contractor, C&D Services ofWolcott, will tunnel into the structurally unsound buildingfrom the side to remove lead and asbestos first.

Then the building will be taken down, piece by piece, withitems being sorted and cleaned on site before being matchedup and sold to buyers across the nation.

Waterbury hired DeRisi as a consultant for the CherryStreet project. He helped them determine how much of itcould be reused or recycled, and if it was worth it.

He ticks off a list of what can be “repurposed” — the slateroof, brick walls, the limestone steps and windowsills, steelwindow frames and wooden beams and floors.

“And that’s just the tip of the iceberg,” DeRisi said. The project engineer, GeoDesign Inc. of Middlebury, cal-

culated Waterbury will mine about 33,000 sq. ft. of salvage-able bricks alone.

Once cleaned, that brick will end up in new buildingsacross the nation. WDC’s Kevin Taylor hopes some littlepiece of the old factory will end up in the Bender PlumbingSupply building when it is expanded.

“It would be a good reminder to us all,” Taylor said.

equity.”As a part of B&B, riders research different

aspects of the affordable housing issue andpresent them to their fellow riders everyweek.

“As stewards of this movement, it isimportant to us that we be informed youngadults so that we might inform others ofwhat we are doing. We are all young adults,and one thing we strive for is inspiring otheryoung people to be aware of social issuesand strive to make a difference in our com-munity,” said Biggs.

Working With ContractorsBiggs’ 2010 group worked with Habitat

for Humanity affiliates in Jacksonville, Fla,Mobile, Ala, Dallas, Texas, Baton Rouge,La., and Yuba City, Calif. Each of these habi-tats had their own contractors who instructedriders how to do the task at hand.

“We have a unique opportunity, since wewere only with each group for usually one totwo days, but we arrive with 33 people tocomplete a lot of work in a short amount oftime. In most instances, the construction wasalready under way, or multiple houses werebeing worked on at the same time, so, often,we were divided into smaller groups andpaired up with a member of the constructioncrew, so that we could complete as much ofthe work they needed in the time we had,”said Biggs. “It was a huge advantage to havesite managers, contractors and buildingcrews on hand to manage us as volunteers.”

“You can’t help being inspired by thework and team spirit of the Bike and Buildriders,” said Glen Williamson, site supervi-sor at Yuba/Sutter Area Habitat forHumanity in the Marysville, Calif., area.“They roll into our community near the endof a 3,000-mile trip, not exhausted or wornout, but in high spirits and a sense of purposethat elevates the whole project.

“It’s not work, but a mission to improvethe circumstances of families that were for-tunate to be part of the riders’ visit to ourtown,” Williamson said.

In New Orleans, Biggs’ group workedwith EDOLA, the Episcopal Diocese ofLouisiana. In Farmington, N.M., he had theopportunity to build with an organizationcalled ECHO, a private affordable housingprogram.

“I would say that if I had to try anddescribe it, boy, 24 hours of absolute insani-ty followed by an incredible amount of workthat got done at the end of the day. Thatwould be my description of what Bike and

Build did,” said Russ Allen, constructionsupervisor, ECHO.

“I have always been in awe about the con-ditioning of what it would take to bike acrosscountry and then to work for a day. The proj-ects we were able to give them to build, andpaint, and move, it was incredible. They notonly got everything done we asked of thembut had fun and loved doing it. It is a greatorganization.”

“ECHO did an absolutely stellar job. Atthe end of the day, we felt as though we hadgotten a huge amount of work done. Thiswas not unique to Farmington, but all of theHabitat affiliates we worked with did a greatjob of accommodating the large influx ofvolunteers to their advantage,” added Biggs.“The worst feeling as a volunteer is havingtoo many hands and not enough work.

“The other thing Habitat did very wellwas that they taught us an incredible amount.Most of the full-time builders, managers andcontractors for Habitat affiliates are retiredbuilding professionals, and they really seemto get a lot of joy out of teaching young peo-ple not only how to do a task, but how to doit well and with a great sense of pride,” hesaid. “I have to say thanks to all of those peo-ple who did this because it really made ourdays so much better when you learn how toproperly level the frame of the house, how-ever frustrating it might be at times, rather

Being small enough to fit into less-than-roomy spaces is great. So is a tremendous amount of power. But if that’s all an excavator has to offer, it will never be a Doosan. Our new smaller, but still powerful, DX140LCR is a workhorse machine built to minimize both downtime and operating costs. It’s easy to maintain with centralized grease points, convenient hose routing and easy ! lter replacement. It’s also as durable as a tank, sips fuel and is so comfortable you could almost live in it. Now it’s easy to see that with Doosan, you may be working in close quarters, but you’re never in a tight spot.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) The head of Rhode Island’sDepartment of Transportation said the agency will have adifferent approach as it moves into the new year: thinkingsmaller.

The shift comes with the near completion of the agency’sbiggest job — a $623 million project to move Route 195 outof downtown Providence.

Department chief Michael Lewis said now the agency canspend money on more and smaller projects, such as fixingsmaller bridges and secondary and local roads.

For instance, the department said nine bridges eitherclosed or posted with weight limits were under constructionin 2010, and it plans to advertise another 17 bridges for bidin 2011.

Lewis warned, though, that there will be traffic disruptionsbecause projects will be spread more broadly across the state.

Building Up the DisenfranchisedSome of his building experiences were

heart wrenching.Outside of Dallas, Biggs was able to have

dinner at the home of the director of the localHabit for Humanity. She invited many of thehomeowners over so Biggs had the chanceto talk to those who had been helped in thepast and those whose homes were beingbuilt currently.

“It was great to see first-hand who you arebuilding for and why you are doing this,” hesaid.

“Some of our riders [in New Orleans]went out and got gifts for one of the home-owners because he and his children wouldbe moving back into their home in a week.That particular gentleman and his family hadmoved out of the 9th Ward only a weekbefore [Hurricane Katrina] because a straybullet killed one of his sons. Because theyhad not been in the house 30 days, insurancerefused to support their claim.

“I was working in Tremme [Louisiana]with a woman who was literally evacuatedfrom her house at gunpoint during the stormand had suffered severe distress as a result.By the time we left, everything was in placeso that she could move in as soon as theplumber hooked up the pipes to the sink andcabinets we had built for her, and she wouldbe able to pass inspection.”

Seeing the Country by PedalThe scenic vistas of Biggs’s thousands of

pedaled miles were no less memorable. “Some of my favorite experiences in rid-

ing were crossing through the part of thecountry I thought I would hate most. Beingas far south as we were, I thought Texas,New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada would behot and miserable. It was hot, but it wassome of the most surprisingly beautifulcountry I have ever seen. Every day, travel-ing just 80 or 90 miles, you got to your nexthost and you didn't feel like you were in anew city, but rather a new country. I couldn'tbelieve how drastically the terrain couldchange in so few miles. Every day was com-pletely different from the last,” said Biggs.

“We climbed the eastern Sierra Nevadasand descended down into Lake Tahoe, andseeing that beautiful huge lake in the middleof a mountain, after climbing a very steepmountain for the last 20 miles of our 100-

mile-day was one of the most incrediblethings I have ever seen. It looks like thewater is about to spill out of the mountain atany second,” he added.

“Most of us also hit our top speeds of thetrip coming down the other side of themountain the next day. I never thought Iwould go over 50 miles an hour on a bicy-cle.”

47 States and a ProvinceBike & Build runs eight national routes,

with roughly 32 riders on each trip annually(256 riders a year). The program started withonly two routes.

Riders travel through 47 states on theseroutes and the northern-most route actuallyleaves the country and travels into BritishColumbia on the last day of their trip.

Each route is roughly 10 weeks long. “On my last trip from Jacksonville, Fla.,

to San Francisco, we rode approximately4,000 miles. This summer will be roughlyabout the same. We average about 70 milesa day on the bike, and our longest day isabout 110 miles, which, last year, was onU.S. 50 through Nevada, which is the loneli-est road in America,” said Biggs.

With contractor, builder, volunteer andrider help, Biggs said, “I think it is safe tosay, the number of families we have helpedis well into the thousands. I know we havedonated more than 50,000 man-hours onbuild sites over the last eight years.”

This year, Biggs’s group will be buildingin Kansas City, Mo., Charlottesville, Va.,Cincinnati, Ohio, St. Louis, Mo., Boulder,Co., Steamboat Springs, Co., Idaho Falls,Idaho, and Portland, Ore., either with Habitatfor Humanity rebuilding or new construc-tion.

2011 will be Biggs’s last year of the trip. As a law student, next summer he will

have to take a more traditional job and workat a law firm getting experience in his field.But the road does not end there. Every yearover the winter holiday, B&B has an alumniride in Florida for a week and it builds fortwo days.

The nearly $3 million raised by Bike &Build includes more than $490,000 donatedfrom the summer of 2010. That also is itsgoal this year.

Bike & Build also supports local afford-able housing organizations along each routethrough on the road donations.
