If there are copper pipes, I would imagine you are looking at $400-$500 total. If it is just brass and wiring, maybe $200. Pool enclosure... $100 or so depending on the size. Windows.. another $150 or so if you clean them (assuming they are AL). I would guess between $500 and $700 take away. Too bad the juice will be off, it would have been nice to cool the beer in the fridge.

The bigger electric cables you can strip the insulation off to get the best $$. This would happen after you have stripped out the house and got all the cable back to your home etc.
It would not be worth stripping the cables as you go, I expect you have a small 'time window' to get the wiring out of the house.
You will not get much per Kg for insulated cable, but you don't have to spend much time getting it either. Thats how it is.

If theres Copper pipe plumbing, that will help a lot. But I expect that its plastic. I dunno if the hot water cylinder will be a Copper one. In NZ they are.

The windows, if you can get them out and sell them whole you can make some good money. But if its only you doing the job, I'd say thats almost impossible.
It also depends on your vehicle for transporting the stuff and if you have a base you can work on them afterwards.

Just wondering, why is a 25yr old house being demolished? That never happens in NZ. My house is 110 years old.....

An as always mentioned...remember the resell of items to.

If the windows are in good condition or other items you can always profit by selling them on CL or another avenue.
