i love garbage

ok not really

but I do indeed love to salvage from the curb

especially if it is something we need (or just really want)

there is a sort of rewarding excitement that I get

this here screen door is a perfect example

it was black and missing half of the screen on the bottom

but we fixed that...no problem

nothing a simple (not always) scrape and sand can't handle

we kept the original hinges and handle
added some locally milled Cypress
a few cuts to fit and voila

just my style salvaged, rustic, primitive

found, recycled...

so many of my favorite things

I do need to work on remembering to photo my curb findings before

for accurate documentation of the process

much of our home has been created using such findings

it takes some time but it saves some money
