A New Life

16Jan13

There are some amazingly creative minds out there especially when it comes to repurposing and upcycling. Even though I am huge on recycling, I admit that I probably wouldn’t have thought of many of these ideas, washtub chandeliers, seats made from tires, a pool made from an old dumpster, shoe organizers as wall planters, and a bird house made from an old pan are just not things that pop into this grey matter. So please join me in a big thank you to those who guide us to take another look at something we are ready to toss. pb

Wish I was handy, I think about making things like this but they never really look right.

  It really does make you think twice about getting rid of stuff doesn’t it?

Read the next page to learn about the first method, flatbed towing.
If you are hunting for a junkyard which would offerr
you money for junk vehicles, the best spot to lookup would be
the net. Car Towing Melbourne is one of the most valuable services in
Australia.

Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your post seem to be not proportional the screen in Safari.
I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to
let you know. The layout look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon.
Many thanks
