    Restoring/rescuing a 100+ year old shed. Am I nuts?

    Yes, I've been following (lurking LOL) your progress and noticing all of the bones you've been digging up. One never knows what happened there and, of course, the land owner may not know or speak of it. But I believe that your intentions are good, but maybe not clearly expressed nor...

    Hi from Northern Texas

    Here are some that I have on my phone. I work as a hydraulic tech so I get a lot of gears and pistons and stuff that work nice for lamps. The pew took sanding and time, but we like it, and it's comfortable. The one of the work shop shows a work surface that I got from a dumpster and a shelf...

    Hi from Northern Texas

    Wh Where to start? I just about re-use anything until it has no life left in it. I built a greenhouse/chicken coop almost entirely from recycled goods. I'm not sure how to link here to another site: but maybe this will work...
