Thread: Project "Left Overs"

Tweet

Don great to see you putting this all together. I love recycling stuff for something functional After we did our addition 5 years ago, we had leftover stuff from the back of the old house. We were able to reuse 99% of stuff like the old back door and windows(from1858) and some plywood left over as well as 2x4's, 2x6 and 4x4's. End result is a cool garden shed, sided with old 100 year old growth redwood from our garage/barn rebuild. It's still one of my favorite things from the addition. We used all of the scraps, from asphault shingles and tar paper to old redwood posts and pressure tx lumber. I kind of used the amount of plywood to dictate the size of the shed. Total out of pocket was just a few bucks for door hinges and caulking.
I guess why this seems like a great car project is it's got pieces and history from your whole family.
Here's a shot of the shed.
