    taking salvage and upcycling too far!!!!!

    I think I over did it. I bought a house built in 1919. As much as I enjoy refurbishing vintage stuff this is too much. The house was a hunting lodge for years and had to pass inspection every year, I'm not exactly sure what they inspected.

    The day I moved in we got 6 inches of rain and the closest tornado was less than a half mile away. One room, the basement and garage flooded, of course that's where all my "more than scrap stuff was". The whole house smells like a gym now. So far I'm at 200$ spent on hooking up the drain for the washing machine.



    OK rant over, I got a sweet deal and its old but not historic so I can tear anything down with out feeling guilty and I get to buy lots of new tools
