Recycling is fun!








For the Red Stag project, we are going to re-use and re-purpose existing materials as much as possible. Last week, we pulled some beautiful marble and some restaurant booths out of the Marriot, which is being remodeled. This stuff would otherwise have ended up being garbage. Now, someday soon, we'll be able to enjoy a nice fish fry and a cold one at the bar with our plates and glasses resting on this beautiful marble. Thanks to Marriot, and Bob, the foreman on that job, and to Byron at Walsh Bishop for alerting us to the availability of these materials. We also have received a big stack of solid core doors from the Cobalt project that weren't right for them and would have been thrown out, but now will be made into tabletops for the restaurant. Thanks to Ken Potts of McGough for those! We've gotten sinks, some lumber, tile, and a refrigerator for our job site all for free, all saved from the landfill or garbage burner.

WHAT ELSE DO WE NEED?
Lumber: 2x4's and 2x6's, anything longer than 21"/quarry or any other floor or wall tile/ leftover grout/plywood/constructions screws/low voltage light fixtures/two large turned table legs/low VOC caulk and adhesive/box fans/40" fire door with window

If you have any of these items you'd like to get rid of, or if you happen to see a perfectly fine 2x6 sticking out of the end of a construction dumpster, bring it on over to 509 1st Avenue NE and we'll happily put it to use in this project.
