Hi Bob,
I did this, too.  I'm glad to say that I still have ten fingers left!
I'm a dedicated skinflint, but by the time I was done prying off cleats and 
nailheads, and then restapling the rim corners, I decided that the labor and 
danger wasn't worth any perceived savings.  I'll make my next batch from 
fresh lumber.
Randy
