Dani, you know that we do our best to re-purpose and re-use everything that we can. we think it is very important, as do you! we're not entirely off the grid yet and don't own a fancy solar oven, just our pallets and screens - bahahahahha! - but we'll get there. especially if we have good friends like you leading the way! again - kymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-76502563482171307112014-07-02T22:08:02.781+02:002014-07-02T22:08:02.781+02:00Excellent.

I knocked on the door of a Kuwaiti family once who seemed to renovate their whole house every other year. There was a really large coffee table in the skip and asked if I could have it. they were so happy as they also off loaded a year old kitchen to me.

I think that in today's society, there are very few people left who actually know how to fix anything. Or even how to think through to a solution for a problem.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.com
