Recycle & Reuse

Clarke noticed that a neighbor had a pile of cedar shingles that the neighbor had recently removed from his roof. The cedar shingles had been under the asphalt shingles on his roof and they were in remarkably good shape. So we swapped some firewood for the shingles and brought them home to put on the outside of the barn.




We just flipped them over and they looked like they were always on the barn. They have another 100 years in them. We got enough shingles to finish two half walls and we still lots of shingles left.

There is so much joy in bringing back something that someone previously thought of as being worthless.
