But as you point out, it's a good way to get free stuff, whatever you want to call it.<BR/><BR/>cheers, <BR/><BR/>KateKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017959421018964001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237633934633144064.post-53982230857230152692008-08-01T13:21:00.000-04:002008-08-01T13:21:00.000-04:00I´ve mentioned this before but I wish people would...I´ve mentioned this before but I wish people would go back to calling it salvaging, dumpster diving sounds so dirty, yuck, maybe if your homeless and desperate, not me,<BR/><BR/>But on the other hand salvaging is a great way to get things cheap and free. <BR/><BR/>rob in madridAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237633934633144064.post-28605160591721884262008-07-31T11:04:00.000-04:002008-07-31T11:04:00.000-04:00Isn't it amazing what gets thrown away?

This week our family has collected an apple corer, a coffee mug rack, a set of metal mesh baskets, steel bed frames (to be used as trellises and half-walls in the garden), a sturdy hardwood chair, some PVC tubes, some wood, and some plastic shelving. I saw some more treasures on my trip into town today. I'm as happy as a raccoon in the 'burbs!cafenowherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572654111288029481noreply@blogger.com
