Seems everyone has been on a road trip this spring. Katherine Berst (and Steve, and Maya) went to Kentucky. She writes: I love junk, treasures, salvage, old stuff nobody wants, antiques, whatever you want to call it, Louisville has two of the coolest “salvage” places I’ve ever been in. Here’s one photo of 1:1000th of the stuff there is to look at (or buy). Fortunately I have a small car!
I hate to see perfectly good stuff go into a landfill. Materials Unlimited in Ypsilanti, Odom Re-use in Grawn, and the Habitat for Humanity resale shops have made a good thing out of refurbishing and selling salvaged doors, windows, fixtures, flooring. So who knows – maybe Greg Pardee is onto something with his Eastport Flea Market idea. (Katherine – what did you manage to stuff into the small car?)

We wanted a fountain for our yard but the ones we saw that we liked (and wouldn’t fit in the car anyway) were too $$$$ so we’ll have to either buy a pick up truck the next time we go (and save some more $$) or find something a little closer. I’m opting for the latter.

Ooh, ooh – if you get a pickup truck I’ll have another friend to bug when I want to move large objects from hither to thither. Or, I could get a pickup and tear around the countryside in it with the Disreputable Duo in the back seat of the cab. I’ll bet we could make a fountain. Let’s ask Daugherty Johnson if he knows how. I’ll bet he does.
