Squishy Mud Remedy: Charlie is one of our regulars. He bought some Fire Hose and Guardrail Timbers to use as a track system to drive over some squishy, muddy dirt. They cut the Guardrail Timbers and nailed the Fire Hose to it to connect it. They were able to move the mobile home through the mud much easier!

repurposedPROJECT: Nathan, from South Dakota, purchased 33 sheets of tongue and groove gym flooring. He is using it to build a custom squash court in his basement.
INTERESTING FACT: Many think that "repurposing" is for those of the lower income demographic. To the contrary, as Nathan's home squash court attests, we have many very high net worth and business owners/executives as customers and supporters! Hmmm...might there be a correlation between frugality and net worth!?!

READER RESPONSE: "In response to your article on Structural Steel aka “The Big Uglies”, this material can be sent to a galvanizer who will be able to strip the old paint and rust off of the steel, dip the material in molten zinc, and it will be good as brand new with a certified service life of up to 60 years! Once galvanized, the material can be put to use as intended in its original design or repurposed for any other similar jobs. Always check with your local galvanizer for outdoor steel needs!" - David Mauro in Ontario, Canada
