RE-USING ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS
BOUGHT BONE CHEAP AT SALVAGE YARDS
I love the"THIS OLD HOUSE TV SHOW" which kindly cues us home fixers where we can find ANTIQUE ARCHITECTURAL elements in every American STATE ! Including the state of DISREPAIR!

Google with state name: PENNSYLANIA - http://www.philadelphiacommunitycorps.org/
That one gives me an idea. Start your Salvage yard with city help as a community work corps! JOBS ARE SCARSE. Cities can help salarying guys with electric saws, screwdrivers to take condemned buildings apart before the DESTRUCTION CREW ARRIVES.

MANY MORE, just google them up. EVERY state has a few huge ones.
CORBELS are THE BEST to use UNDER A SQUARE ARCH OR DOORWAY or to create A SHELF
HUNDREDS of SALVAGE YARDS just google the words !
See the tv show SALVAGE DOGS!
Worth it to rent a UHAUL TRUCK AND MOVE YOUR FINDS TO YOUR WORK SITE.
SOMEONE SHOULD ALWAYS CAMP AT THE WORK SITE YEAR ROUND. 85% of folks ARE CRIMINALif tempted.
