Great articles.

Our society is so obsessed with "throw away and replace" rather than "repurpose and reuse". It is a shame. I see a lot of good items being thrown out by neighbors that I simply don't have the room to bring in and repurpose.

That is something I plan on changing once we move to our land (7 acres in the country). By then I will have more time on my hands as I don't have to keep a 40+ hour a week job and can focus more on life and enjoying it.

I have been someone that worked with their hands most of their life and doing stuff that is more "white collar" is simply not for me. Repurposing other people's trash is a great way to turn a nice profit while keeping my hands busy and learning new skills (I am more of a metal works guy so wood is a new one for me).

Thanks for the inspiration here. Keep up the great articles, a lot of us live vicariously through them.
