repurposingMENTALITY:  A key to "repurposing" is to think about a product or materials Attributes, Characteristics, Engineering (**A,C,E).

EXAMPLE:  One of the A,C,E's of Concrete Pavers are they are heavy.  We sell a lot of our heavy materials as ballast for all kinds of applications where weight is needed.  Eg: You need weight to anchor something against high winds.

Concrete Pavers.  Qty: 5 truckloads  NOTE: We don't want to move these to SC.  We would make someone(s) a heck of a deal in truckload quantities!!  Call Damon at 303.321.1471 OR

repurposedQUESTION: "Do you have any jetliner tires?  I prefer the jetliner tires on my tugboat.  The jetliner tires are rounded versus a more square edge of truck and equipment tires.  The rounded edges create less drag in the water." John in Seattle

REJohn, Unfortunately, we don't have any jetliner tires currently.

Q: Do you have used jetliner tires, or any other materials for "repurposing"?  If "yes", we are interested!

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!

californiaLOVIN' "Hi, love reading your emails.  I am a retired white-collar woman who has absolutely no ability to pick up heavy things, no skill in any trade or craft yet I read every word and try to imagine what I could do with your stuff. Then I try to think of other people I know who maybe could find a use for something ( our school district? our city? my union hall? ) thanks." Kristy Sermersheim in California

"BTW love the business model...we are always re purposing in our industry I love to see what is on each email you send and am glad it is all going to use in a new way!" - Dan Riddle in California

 
repurposedPROJECTNathan, 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!?!

repurposedCUSTOMER: We sold 100 switch ties to a Wisconsin pheasant farmer.  They need long ties to build the huge pens for the pheasants to be able to fly and strengthen their wings.  Stuart, we appreciate your business!

WANTED:  Do you have an industrial property(s) with environmental problems?  If so, would you like to sell the property and transfer the liability headaches on to another party?  If "yes" to both, we're interested in talking to you.  Please, Contact Us>>

REDamon:  I manage environmental clean-up sites for a power company.  I have got one 300 acre parcel that we bought back in 1973 (for a power plant expansion that never happened) from a major oil company.  They discharged at least 250,000 tons of waste sediment (a mix of carbon black with hydrocarbons, PAHs, and metals).  We are now sitting on this surplus property that has a significant clean-up liability. You asked for problem properties, this definitely fits.  Feel free to give me a call if you have any interest." - Bob

Big Uglies:  We're calling these steel beams "the big uglies".  We're looking for an artisan or someone with some creativity to "repurpose" these beams!

READER RESPONSE: "Really enjoy the newsletter, keep 'em coming. Have an idea for your old I beams. Love to try it. Lay two of them down flat, parallel, across a creek, spaced wide enough for your 4-wheeler (or other vehicle) wheels, and use them for a bridge. Cheap, easy to install, strong,  just slick when wet. A little sand will fix that." - Paul Schmitt in Ohio
