Reuse, Restore, Recycle Part 1

When we bought the house, at first we considered it a building site with the misfortune of having a tired old house on it. The plan from the beginning was to recycle or find people to reuse as much of the structure and its contents as we could.

Once we took a closer look at the house, we started to find features that we wanted to save and use in our new home. We'll talk about those later. For now, let's look at what were were able to salvage and donate for use elsewhere.

We started small, and removed all the shelving, window treatments and hardware, and other reusable items, which our Habitat for Humanity Restore picked up when they took away the kitchen appliances.

Take the brackets and shelves, leave the painted toes. 
ADA cleat with towel racks.
So many shelf brackets.
Miniblinds, smoke detectors, switch and outlet covers.
Shelves, etc.
Vent covers.
We gave this and its mate to a friend.
Sadly, we were unable to find a home for this.
