Incidental costs to rebuilding ? I'd say dry storage would hit the top of the list tools and equipment where does it end there's always something else you want or need ...

......lots and lots of wheels. I didn't mention the furniture dollies, nor the extra casters I ended up with because I changed my mind. Four trucks.......
