    I once got about 300 linear feet of 1920's pine trim out of a house that the guy was going to raze. I also got the front door, as well as 6 vinyl windows I thought I was going to use on a project. He posted and ad on CL and I came a running, I uninstalled all of it myself- trim cost me $75 bucks, front door cost me $20. If I were to go to an architectural salvage place- the door would have run me $300-$400 and the trim easily at $600-$700. He was glad to see it "up-cycled" and not into a pile of splinters, as well as making a few dollars off of it.. And I personally trimmed out my entire office, many windows and doors in my home and used the front door as my office door. It was a true "win-win"

    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
