The sun hasn't come up yet. The chill of the morning still catches my breath. I'm on my way to a local barn. Today's job is cleaning/trimming/sorting and piling barn board for a client. The day before that, saving a porch from a local house that was being torn down.
I have been saving material from older buildings for 20 years. From tin ceilings to newel posts, windows, doors, hardware, floor grates, and much more. My main goal is to find a new home for the salvage and give it a second life.
From picking through an ancient farm dump, crawling into the space under an old house, sorting through items in an antique barn, or treasure hunting in a closed industrial building. I love salvage.
I design and build with salvage material saved from older homes. I do restoration work and customs builds. Everything from sourcing material for clients to installation and much more. Call me Salvage Cowboy. You can find out more on Facebook at Salvage Cowboy - Maker and Trade.
