Original salvaging trip
While I have one definite destination in mind, junkings best part is grabbing whatever items opportunity presents. Once we visit the organs abandoned building, well look for whatever else looks interesting.
The Game Warden, a/k/a Hubby, tries to limit my acquisitions to items that I see an immediate use for. But Hubby is not going Saturday. This is a girls day out. Hee, hee, hee!
I started salvaging by accident many years ago.
At the end of the 1986-87 school year, I saw an operative coffee pot that had been abandoned in an adjoining room. Irene and George came to see me about that time. I showed them what Id found and we decided to see what else we might find. We went through all the rooms on my floor and picked up other interesting items. After that, we went through every room on every floor in every dorm on campus. We hauled off some very nice acquisitions. We found small appliances, furniture and clothes.
My mother was horrified at the waste. You dont leave things like that, do you?
Oh, no. Not this girl! You didnt raise me like that.
We made salvaging the dorms an annual tradition until we all moved away.
I still have a hospital nightstand from that very productive day so long ago. Its now our coffee stand.
