As my name says I repurpose. I like the old industrial weathered look and great patina. I haul scrap to sell and shop the place like Walmart. Last Monday I ran across a pile of old road signs that had to be from the 70's and earlier. Some are made of enameled steel. There was also some old painted steel letters. The ones the Pickers love to find and sell. Picked it all up by the pound which totalled to less than $7.00. The guy at the scrap yard has no clue about the collectibility of the stuff today. The week before I found some old metal cabinets uppers and lowers that might have been in grandma's pantry back in the 50's. I recall my grandmother having steel cabinets on her back service porch. We repurposed one of them in to a dresser and bedroom TV stand. Has the right patina and top to look cool. A few weeks earlier I found some old Schwinn and JC Penny bikes someone had scrapped. Picked them up for $5 bucks each. People in Mesa Az come here from where ever and buy up old historic homes and renovate them in to new homes. They toss the old stuff in and around the homes like garbage. If they put a free ad on Craigslist I would pick up everything that had. In most cases they simply toss it all in a dumpster and it 's gone forever. At least the people who tossed all the stuff I found recently thought about recylcing. What cool stuff have you found recently??
