    My old Nilfisk Vacuum Cleaner packed in last year and i didn't have anywhere to dispose of it,..so this year i made use of it,..and easy to move about with its three wheels.

    A friend was dumping the metal ends of this seat only because the wood had rotted,..i salvaged it and used the duck boards from an old boat i had.

    I love that planter! Great idea. And super use of old materials for those benches. They sure look comfy.

    You certainly see what others don't! Those are great examples of creative use of otherwise unused materials.
